Notes
- Storing Instructions: Store ambrosia salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, maximum.
- Freezing Instructions: I don’t recommend freezing ambrosia salad because thawing will lead to a separated, watery mess. If you do, store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months and serve frozen (eat it like a frozen dessert).
