How to Make Dole's Holiday Ambrosia

  1. Drain one (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
  2. Drain one (11 ounce) can of mandarin oranges, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained pineapple, oranges, 1 cup of red grapes (halved), 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of flaked coconut, and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (your choice!).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple and orange juice for extra flavor.
  5. Gently pour the sour cream mixture over the fruit mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
