I followed this recipe to a T and it still came out very runny. I used full fat greek yogurt which is thicker than your regular yogurt. It just did not work out for me. I wouldn't use this recipe again.




Excellent

Used at a family party. Great taste and easy to make. I was concerned about the fruit juices (orange and lemon) would make the sauce runny. I did not add the liquids to and instead added the zest of one lemon to vanilla yougart. Also drain any liquid from the cut fruit. Turned out perfect.




yummy

This salad is not only easy to make, but a very refreshing take on a regular fruit salad!

Excellent fruit salad, I used fat free yogurt, only 1/4 cup of orange juice and the rest of your ingredients, I recommend this to everyone. Love your show Micheal and your recipes. Thanks

I followed the easy Ambrosia recipe to a T. At a party I went to everyone liked the fruit of course, but commented on how runny the mixture was. We ended up putting it in a mixer and made fantastic rum drinks! Very expensive to make this time of year also.




Easy to make and tasted fine

This dish is easy to prepare and tastes good. I used sour cream as the base for the dressing and it was a little runnier than I would have liked. We did like the flavor of the dressing, however.




Delicious!

Lovely flavor...make it easier by tossing the banana and kiwi with a little lemon juice to prevent browning, eliminating the rest of the fruit juices and instead use 1 carton of lemon yogurt (custard type or Stonyfield Farms brand works well) + 1/3 carton of orange yogurt (don't use fat free-it's too runny). Great flavor & the dressing is nice & thick. Also I added the zest of one lemon + about 1/4 orange to give the flavor a kick.




Refreshingly Delicious!

We served this delightful remake in bowls for a tasty dessert, bringing back wonderful memories of my grandmother's peaches and cream dessert. The mint brightens the taste and brings out the freshness of the fruits.




An oldie, but a goodie

Try doing what I've been doing for years: take all the fruit you want along with the mint and mix it all up with lemon yogurt or the flavor of your choice. It's not as runny.

Great receipe makeover. The fresh mint really stands out. Next time I'll use less of the required citrus juices...tad runny. But REALLY delicious.
