Nana's Marshmallow Salad
"No coconut, lots of mandarin oranges, and sour cream instead of whipping cream combine to set this marshmallow salad apart. But then I'm biased about all the holiday favorites I grew up with. It's now a favorite of my daughters."

The classic ambrosia/5 cup salad! This "makes" any holiday dinner. Even though I love coconut, I prefer this recipe just the way it is. Thanks Rochsann!<br/>Roxgirl<br/><br/>Update: this time I used Stoneyfield Organic Rich & Creamy plain yogurt & really like it! -
This was very good, but since I didn't find it as sweet as I would have liked, I sprinkled one 3.4 oz. box of Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding over all, folded it in, and refrigerated overnite to ensure pudding would dissolve. Got raves from family at a family picnic. Will definitely be making again. Thanks rochsann!! -
So Yummy, thanks for a great recipe. I had no cherries so I added in 2 sliced bananas. Thank you. Yummy! -
Delicious!! I loved it. It makes a lot, so it would be great to make for a get together.

I used 1/2 of the cherries called for, I only had a half jar left. This is similar to my ambrosia recipe which uses fruit cocktail, which I hate. The pineapple is a wonderful addition

I love how cooking brings people together, whether it's sharing recipes or sharing a special meal. My sister and I love to talk recipes, and she is great at researching any recipe questions and hunting down recipes. My whole family enjoys cooking, so holidays are particularly fun when we're all cooking together. I teach social studies, and I incorporate historical recipes and foods into my lessons about culture. Cooking connects the past and present. I've realized how relaxing cooking is to me, so despite being very busy with teaching, I make time to cook.
