Can You Count To 5? Then You Can Make This Salad

Ambrosia salad is something I used to have a lot when I was young, except it wasn’t called ambrosia at our house.

My mother and grandmother made it often, but they used to call it fruit salad or cream salad, instead of ambrosia. I don’t know where the name ambrosia came from but according to New England Today, where I found the recipe, ambrosia salad recipes started appearing in American cookbooks towards the end of 1800’s.

Wow! I had no idea it was such an old dish! But it still never gets old (no pun intended) and I love making this salad for all kinds of parties, potlucks and family gatherings. It is a staple on our New Year’s menu, but I know some people consider this a summer BBQ dish.

It doesn’t really matter when you make this – it’s delicious year ’round and your guests are always going to love it! The best part is, you need an equal amount of five ingredients for this, so it is super easy to remember or tweak to your taste.

This Crockpot Hawaiian Chicken is perfect for people who want a low-hassle meal and like their meat on the sweet side. It features a sticky-sweet sauce, with the natural mild acidity of the pineapple and mandarin oranges giving it just the right amount of tartness to put the sweet and savory flavors in balance. I have to say, the Hawaiians do know how to blend the Asian and American cooking traditions nicely. I was more than happy to break out my Crock-Pot again to give this a try. And with no pre-cooking even required, this recipe is about as easy as it gets.

For easier cleanup, spray down your slow cooker with some cooking spray or use a liner. You can tweak the sauce in this recipe a bit according to taste. The simplest way to serve this chicken is as shown, on a bed of rice of your choice. I happen to think that jasmine rice goes beautifully with this! That is likely more than enough for a full meal for most people, but if you want some sides, I would recommend some simply cooked carrots and a green vegetable of your choice for a bit of contrast.
