This is a lovely Southern Dish, perfect for Sunday brunch or as a side for Easter dinner. Warning- when you first assemble the ingredients, the taste is not pleasant- wait overnight for the best results. Although my husband does not like nuts, most Ambrosia lovers add chopped pecans and green seedless grapes.
