I am fairly certain you will love this recipe for Cranberry Ambrosia Salad with Toasted Coconut. Each year I enjoy creating one or two new recipes for my Thanksgiving dinner menu. I was inspired by cranberry fluff, a dish I saw on Pinterest. Well when I read the ingredient list it had way too much sugar for my liking. So I thought of adding cranberries to my Ambrosia Salad recipe. The color was beautiful and it tasted totally amazing! You can serve this tasty dish as dessert or as a side dish. I used one cup of my own homemade cranberry sauce with this recipe. But to keep it easy you can use canned cranberry sauce as a substitute. I think it would work just fine. I love cranberries because they offer a nice tangy flavor. I am not a huge fan of really sweet desserts. So this is the perfect recipe in my books. You get some sweet hints from the marshmallows and then the tangy and slight tart bite from the cranberries. A match made in heaven. As always, I love hearing from you. A special thanks to everyone that shares my recipes and that is out there making my recipes. I love seeing you share them on Facebook. I hope you are inspired to make some new tasty recipes this Thanksgiving holiday season. And if you do use my recipes and share them, remember to tag me. Wishing you and yours the many special blessings of this Thanksgiving holiday. I hope you are sharing it with your loved ones. Stay tuned for more Thanksgiving menu inspirations! Until next time Bon Appetit, Cecelia
