In northern California, it definitely feels like summer weather, and summer weather means time for BBQ’s and picnics! I love this simple version of ambrosia salad, it’s a definite must on the picnic buffet table.
At 161 calories a serving, this would be a wonderful healthy dessert choice for a weektime meal.
I found the recipe in The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet: 250 Simple Recipes and Dozens of Healthy Menus for Eating Well Every Day by Nava Atlas. The recipe calls for 5 ingredients, but I like to add mini marshmallows making it into a 6 ingredient ambrosia salad. Heres the recipe…
