FAQs

Why is it called Ambrosia Salad?

The word “immortality” comes from Greek Greek mythology, and “ambrosia” is usually referred to as the “meal of the gods.” According to Greek mythology, the gods regularly consumed ambrosia in order to maintain their strength and keep themselves from becoming weak. To this day, we know it as a fruit salad (or dessert) that has aromas reminiscent of the tropics and is delightfully light and airy.

Where does Ambrosia Salad come from?

Although this creamy, reviving meal was popularized by southern cooks, the name has Greek origins. Ambrosia recipes today come in a variety of variations from chefs across the nation.

How do you prevent Ambrosia salad from becoming brown?

Mixing your fruit into a bowl with the juice from a single can of pineapple chunks will keep it from turning brown. The juice prevents the fruit from becoming brown, and the addition of pineapple chunks to the salad lends it a unique tropical taste. You can use the juice from a lemon, lime, or orange for the pineapple juice in this recipe.
