Fruit salad?
Mine made it too, unfortunitely I don't know the name of it, but I think it had a jello base with cool whip and canned fruit salad, to which she added additional grapes, I think. It was a moulded salad, she served on lettuce? Try JELLO recipes online?

AMBROSIA SALAD



2 cans pineapple chunks, drained

2 cans mandarin oranges, drained

2 jars maraschino, drained

1 can coconut flakes

1/2 bag mini marshmallows

4 oz. sour cream

16 oz. Cool Whip



Combine sour cream and Cool Whip. Fold in all other ingredients. Chill covered for at least 2 hours.





Of course you can alter to taste. For example skip the coconut if you like.
Reply:Look for recipes of Ambrosia salad. It usually had walnuts in it, grapes, coolwhip, sometimes kiwi, strawberries, cherries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, etc.. whatever you like, really. My grandmother used to make it too!

Reply:A fruit salad is basically whatever you want to put in it. I just make sure the amounts of all the fruits are even, so I don't really measure.

I use:

apples-peeled and chunked

mandarin oranges

red grapes-cut in half

maraschino cherries

and cool whip...sometimes I use walnuts and coconut flakes as well.

Hope this has helped.
Reply:sounds like ambrosia, look it up on www.epicurious.com

happy holidays
Reply:Maybe look in google. They usually have recipes all over the internet. Otherwise, try experimenting with what you think might be in it. It depends if it is salty or sweet, then go from there.
