Ambrosia means “the food of the gods,” the perfect name for this creamy fruit salad. You may find lots of variations in recipes for this treat, often served during the holidays, but the one thing there is in common is a pineapple cream dressing. You can make the sauce 1 day ahead, then all that's left to do is to just mix in the fruit before serving. If you'd prefer, you can skip the pecans, or substitute with another nut, such as walnuts.
