AMBROSIA WITH ACINI DI PEPE

Steps:

• For the absolute BEST Summer Ambrosia Salad Please follow directions exactly.
• Boil the 1 cup of Acini De Pepe according to pasta box instructions.
• While the pasta is cooking, Add drained crushed pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, sour cream, 1 tub of whipped topping and 8 drops of red food coloring to a large container (I use a large plastic tub with lid).
• On the top of all the other ingredients add 3/4 of the bag of mini-marshmallows (DO NOT STIR YET).
• When pasta is done cooking drain completely (DO NOT COOL).
• Pour drained pasta on top of the mini-marshmallows in your container.
• Allow to sit or about 1 minute.
• This allows the marshmallows to melt a bit.
• Stir until mixed well (it will be very soupy).
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next morning (the ingredients will be firm) add the second tub of whipped topping and the rest of the mini-marshmallows.
• Stir well.
• Keep refrigerated until serving.
• Your guests will RAVE over this dish.
• I bring it to every summer party and people always look forward to having it!
• ENJOY!
