Ambrosia Fruit Salad
This American classic could have gone into my Teninas America cookbook, but seriously...not so much a recipe as a serving suggestion.
I have made this for years and my kids absolutely used to love it. When I lived in the states as a girl, this was standard offer at barbeques throughout the heady days of summer. Yep, right there next to the jello salad, (with carrot in it!) and ketchup, hot dogs, burgers and whatever else. It all got mixed in together, and could be why I developed a phobia of desserty stuff being served at the same time as mains. If I make this now, it hits the dessert table and I have to say, never lasts long. Super easy. No Thermo required...enjoy...without the sauce and mustard on the side.
