Ambrosia Salad Recipe

1-Sour Cream Version

Ingredients:

1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can pineapple chunks, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup sour cream




2-Fat Free Yogurt Version

Ingredients:

1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1 can fruit cocktail, drained
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup fat-free yogurt



Directions for versions 1 & 2:

Gently mix together all ingredients. The sour cream version can be immediately put into serving bowls as it will be firm enough when made. The yogurt version might be a little runny so you may want to refrigerate it for a couple of hours first.


3-Instant Jello Version

Ingredients:

-1 cup dairy style dressing-sour cream, yogurt etc.
-1 pkg. orange jello mix
-1 can mandarin oranges(drained) or 1 cup fresh orange chunks(drain excess juice)
-1 cup flaked coconut
-1 cup mini marshmallows
-Add any other fruit you like


Directions for Jello Version:

Make jello according to directions and cool until partially set. Add dressing and mix with a hand blender or whisk.

Add remaining ingredients and gently mix. Cool in refrigerator until ready to serve.

This very large salad should be eaten within 2 days of being made as the jello will break down over time and pockets of water will form in the bottom of the bowl.

I made this one using regular plain yogurt for dressing, 1 can mandarine oranges and 2 bananas.

Amish Potato Salad Recipe

INGREDIENTS

* 6 medium white potatoes with skin
* 1 small onion, finely chopped
* 1 cup chopped celery
* 1 cup chopped carrots
* 1 teaspoon celery seed
* 4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
*
* 2 eggs, beaten
* 3/4 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing


Instructions


1. Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together 2 eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, milk, and mustard. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the butter. Refrigerate until cool, then stir in the mayonnaise.
3. Peel the potatoes if desired, and cut into medium dice. Place in a large bowl, and toss with the onion, celery, carrots, celery seed and hard-cooked eggs. Gently fold in the dressing. Refrigerate until serving. I personally like this to sit for at least a day before serving to let the flavors blend, but you may serve it as soon as it is chilled.
