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.
