Ambrosia Salad (Paleo, Dairy Free)
This dreamy paleo ambrosia salad is a tropical delight with pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, paleo marshmallows, and honey sweetened coconut yogurt.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain coconut yogurt (I like CocoJune or Koko Kai brands)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup paleo marshmallows, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1⅔ cups drained canned pineapple chunks, in 100% juice
- 1 cup drained canned mandarin oranges in 100% juice
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the coconut yogurt, honey, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Fold in the marshmallows, coconut, and pineapple chunks with a rubber spatula.
- Then, gently incorporate the mandarin orange segments until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or chill overnight before serving.

Notes
- 1⅔ cup drained canned pineapple chunks = the contents of a 14 ounce can, drained
- 1 cup drained mandarin orange segments = contents of 10 ounce can, drained
- You can make your own paleo marshmallows or buy them online.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The coconut yogurt can separate during this time, just drain off any of the watery liquid before serving.
