Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 golden delicious apples
- 1 cup green seedless grapes
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits
- 1 container Cool Whip
Instructions:
-
Prepare Cranberries: In a large bowl, combine the cranberries and sugar; mix thoroughly. This step allows the cranberries to absorb the sweetness of the sugar, enhancing their flavor.
-
Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a 3-quart (12 cup) bowl, add the marshmallows, apples (peeled, cored, and diced), grapes (halved if large), and pineapple tidbits. These ingredients form the base of the salad, providing a medley of textures and flavors.
-
Incorporate Cranberry Mixture: Add the cranberry-sugar mixture to the fruit bowl; mix well. Ensure that the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the salad, imparting their tartness to balance the sweetness of the other fruits.
-
Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip until all ingredients are evenly coated. The Cool Whip adds a creamy and indulgent texture to the salad, elevating its richness.
-
Chill: Cover the salad bowl and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the refreshing quality of the salad.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, uncover the Ambrosia Waldorf Salad and dish it out into individual servings. Garnish with additional fruits if desired for a visually appealing presentation.
-
Additional Notes: If using rather large grapes, it’s recommended to cut them in half to ensure they blend seamlessly with the other ingredients. However, if the grapes are small in size, there’s no need to bother cutting them.
