Ambrosia Salad

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner.  This is another side salad that is simple and easy, but also refreshing and light.  This fluffy fruit salad has always been a tradition for us over the years.  After some tweaking, we now add coconut (which my husband loves), and throw in a few maraschino cherries to give it extra flavor and color.  Enjoy!  Kids love it, and adults do, too.  We enjoy this often for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
