Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced pineapple

- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup pecans
- 1 jar maraschino (without cherry stems) 10-ounce
- 3 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

- Cover the bowl with the Ambrosia Salad with a plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.
- When ready to serve, chop the pecans coarsely and add them to the Ambrosia Salad together with the maraschino cherries. Stir to combine. Place it in a serving bowl and garnish with the fresh mint leaves. It is finger-lickin' good!
