Directions:

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For some crunch, add about 1/2 cup of toasted pecan or walnut halves to the fruit mixture.
To make Ambrosia Frozen Fruit Salad: Use 1 cup of drained mandarin orange slices, 1/2 cup flaked coconut, 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, an 8-ounce can of pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup of maraschino cherries, and 1/4 cup of halved seedless grapes.
Freeze the salad in a large empty juice can. Run hot water over the sides of the can, remove one end with a can opener, and it will slide out easily. The can also leave some nice slicing marks on the salad.
Substitute Miracle Whip Salad Dressing for the mayonnaise.
For a sweeter salad mixture, add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
To save on time, use 2 cups of thawed whipped topping or prepared Dream Whip instead of freshly whipped cream.
