Sour Cream Salad
This easy Sour Cream Salad is a family favorite variation of Ambrosia Salad with mandarin oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, and cherries in a creamy dressing, ready in 10 minutes.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Defrosted cool whip
- 15 ounce Can mandarin oranges drained
- 15 ounce Can pineapple chunks drained
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 12 ounce Jar maraschino cherries drained and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Mix sour cream and cool whip in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
- Add fruits, marshmallows and nuts and fold together until mixture is combined.
Notes
- Drain fruit thoroughly in a colander for 15-20 minutes to prevent a watery salad.
- Pat cherries dry on paper towels before cutting to remove excess juice.
- Make sure to thaw Cool Whip if it is frozen.
- Fold ingredients gently to avoid breaking up the fruit.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving (one hour is even better).
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Stir gently before serving if any liquid has settled.
- Make ahead for best flavor (tastes better after chilling).
- Swap walnuts for pecans or skip the nuts entirely for a nut-free dish.
- Add shredded coconut for a more traditional ambrosia salad.
