The ambrosia salads below take many forms, but all of these old-fashioned dessert salads are sure to bring back memories from your childhood. 

Jell-O Salad Recipes

Another delicious variation on a theme -- Jell-O salad. The recipes below are mainly made with fruit, Jell-O and some other element for a little added texture. Whether you like strawberry, orange or pistachio, you'll find recipes for each of these tasty dessert salad recipes below.

Cookie Salad Recipes

Dreamy Fudge Striped Cookie Dessert

Cookie salads are essentially ambrosia salads with cookies mixed right in -- yum! When you refrigerate the salad, the cookie pieces get soft and chewy, but still provide a nice textural contrast to all the creamier elements. This is one of those recipes you just have to try to understand it's appeal, so make it a point to bring one to the next potluck you attend.
