**Ambrosia**  

This colorful fruit salad may be made up to a day in advance if you add the banana just before serving. Fruit-sweetened desserts not only satisfy a sweet tooth, but they’re full of healthy antioxidant-rich foods. In this case, you’re better off opting FOR dessert!

Makes about 4 cups (4 servings)

Ingredients

2 oranges, peeled and chopped   
2 cups pineapple chunks   
1 banana, sliced   
1/4 cup shredded coconut   
2 - 4 tablespoons dried cranberries   
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate   
1/2 teaspoon almond extract   
1 tablespoon water

Directions

Place oranges, pineapple, banana, coconut, and cranberries in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, mix orange juice concentrate, almond extract, and water. Pour over fruit and toss to mix.   
  
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Ambrosia without the bananas will keep for up to 2 days.
