What is National Ambrosia Day?
National Ambrosia Day brings a refreshing salad to the celebration table right in the middle of the holiday season. Bring ambrosia to your holiday dinner or dinner on December 12th, or go home with an empty bowl.
According to Greek mythology, Ambrosia is the god's nectar, giving strength and immortality to those who eat it. The word itself can refer to something delectable in terms of taste or smell.
About the 1800s, ambrosia salad's first recipes appeared. The citrus fruit, coconut, and sugar were among the recipes called for citrus fruit, coconut, and sugar. However, those who find coconut disagreeable leave it out of the dish.. We must remember that if you omit coconut, a vehement protest could be heard from a true southerner.
A true ambrosia salad is served on the same day it is made. However, more recent recipes call for overnight refrigeration of the dish. Apple, walnuts, apples, bananas, whipped cream, or yogurt are all typical ingredients that are often added to the salad.
