Begin by combining the following in a large mixing bowl:
Mini marshmallows
Sour cream
Cool whip
Fruit cocktail
Canned mandarin oranges
Optionally, add coconut and walnuts, if desired.
Thoroughly blend all the ingredients until the salad is well-mixed.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for an overnight stay. This crucial step allows the flavors to meld, creating a harmonious, delectable experience.
The following day, remove your Ambrosia Marshmallow Fruit Salad from the refrigerator, and garnish with halved maraschino cherries to your liking.
Serve this delightful creation in a large family-sized bowl, offering a taste of nostalgia with a refreshing twist. Enjoy!
