What is Ambrosia?
In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the food of the gods bestowing immortality on all who ate it. Would that not be nice? However, at a picnic, a potluck, or a special dessert, ambrosia is a dessert that goes great with fried chicken, ham, and turkey.
What are the Main Ingredients in Ambrosia?
Originating in the Southern United States, today ambrosia is a fruit salad. Most ambrosia recipes contain pecans, canned or fresh pineapples, mandarin orange slices, miniature marshmallows, and coconut flakes in a whipped cream base.
