This festive red, white and blue coleslaw is a crunchy combination of tangy and sweet. Chock full of cranberries, blueberries, cabbage, red onions and pecans. Serve it at your next cookout or Fourth of July gathering.

Coleslaw isn’t for everyone, this is a fact. My husband has always loved it, while I’m more of a potato salad person. I like my side dishes to have a little substance (AKA CARBSSSS), what can I say?

HOWEVER — this coleslaw has opened up a whole new world. Forget that limp, mayo-heavy stuff of the past — this coleslaw is crunchy and tangy and perfectly sweet. Eat it plain or pile it on a grilled chicken sandwich (just try it and thank me later), you’ll love it either way!

Add this to your July 4th menu for a side that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe. And it’s red, white, and blue so ‘MERICA.

For the recipe, hop on over HERE where I’m sharing it with Imperial Sugar.

Enjoy!

Red, white, and blue ambrosia salad is the perfect sweet side dish for your Fourth of July gathering! It’s light, fluffy, and always a crowd pleaser.

I was compensated by Campfire® Marshmallows for my time in developing this recipe and post. All opinions are my own.

I have always been a sucker for desserts masquerading as salads.

I try to eat healthier these days…most of the time. There’s a time and a place for everything, and when it comes to summer cook-outs or a get-together with friends, all bets are off. How can I be expected to eat turkey burgers and celery while everyone else scarfs down hotdogs and cupcakes? That’s a good way to end up crying in the corner, if you ask me.

And I’m talking about them. Because I will have taken their plate, shoved them into the pool, and be stuffing my face with their food. What do you do, no one is perfect.

Campfire® Marshmallows is always killing it with their fun seasonal marshmallow flavors. I was recently sent some of their Red, White, and Blue Roasters, which are berry flavored and so fun! While we love using them for s’mores around the fire pit, I knew I wanted to use them to make one of my favorite sweet salads — Ambrosia. As a kid we often had Ambrosia on the holidays, and it was always my favorite thing on the table. My favorite way to eat it is leftover and piled high on a slice of Angel Food cake, but we don’t have to talk about that.

I know. It’s a lot.

Campfire® Roasters are large, so I cut them into quarters and tossed them with whipped topping, sour cream, coconut, pineapple, and maraschino cherries. The berry flavor of the marshmallows gave the Ambrosia a summery flavor that we all loved.

I may or may not have eaten the leftovers. Piled high on a slice of Angel Food Cake. We don’t have to talk about it.

We always keep a stash of Campfire marshmallows in the pantry. From spur of the moment S’mores parties to krispie treats or crafts, I’m always glad that I have them on hand. And the Campfire website has so many great recipes if you need a little inspiration.

You can also follow Campfire on Facebook (I do!) for fun recipe ideas and crafts. There are so many things you can do with marshmallows!

I hope you love this as much as we did! Enjoy!
