What is "ambrosia"?

Ambrosia is a type of fruit salad that is typically made with a combination of fresh or canned fruits such as oranges, pineapples, grapes, coconut, and maraschino cherries. The fruits are usually cut into bite-sized pieces and combined with whipped cream or sour cream to create a creamy texture. Sometimes, chopped nuts or marshmallows are added for additional texture and flavor. Ambrosia is a popular dish in the southern United States and is often served during holidays and special occasions. It is believed to have originated in the late 19th century and was originally made with citrus fruits and grated coconut.
