Can you believe Memorial Day is next weekend? Crazy, right? It pretty much marks the start of summer which means we’re all looking for delicious, easy, no-bake desserts to serve up at all our warm weather gatherings. And we all love when we’re the ones that bring the dish that everyone else wants the recipe for. Let this Red White & Blue Ambrosia Salad make you that person 😉
Many of us know ambrosia salad as the brightly colored fluffy stuff in the grocery deli or as a classic dish our mothers and grandmothers served up when we were kids. Originally a mix of oranges, coconut, and pineapple, ambrosia salads have been made with all kinds of flavors over the years.
This one, in particular, celebrates the American summer and boasts delicious flavors of strawberries, blueberries, coconut, and pineapple, with a white chocolate whipped topping, fluffy marshmallows, and the crunch of pecans.
Mix it up in minutes and let it chill for at least an hour, then serve it up for your Memorial Day or Fourth of July BBQs or any other get-together you might have this summer!
