This is almost like my Grandmother's Do you remember Ambrosia Salad?? She made that every single Easter. I have not been able to find that recipe among the many that she left me. Today I found three Red Velvet Cake Recipes and One Japanese Pie recipe!!

Hmmm... Pat's mom used to fix Ambrosia. Let me dig around a little and see if we still have it.

My mother made this when I was young but to tempt the picky eaters she would add some maraschino cherries and coconut. Almost Ambrosia-like.

Interesting note Teena. Ambrosia and Waldorf Salad are indeed kindred souls. Sweeties that are between a salad and a dessert. If you throw on the marshmallows mine is a dessert. Without them it is a salad. Introduced at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel decades ago. Of course I have no idea what the original recipe was. I'll have to research that... :]

I've enjoyed this in the past, but never hunted down the recipe. Thanks.

Just realized, I have not posted this to my site for Landmark Recipes. This originated at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. I am sure this recipe is not like theirs but it is a descendant.
