- Cut the fruit into small pieces: This will help the fruit to absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat. If you using frozen fruit, thaw it slightly before cutting it into pieces.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can make the dressing up to 24 hours in advance.
- Chill the ambrosia before serving: This will help to set the dressing and make the ambrosia more refreshing.
- Garnish the ambrosia with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkling of cinnamon.
