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, they’re full of health-promoting antioxidants. In this case, you’re
better off opting for dessert!
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
2 oranges, peeled and chopped
2 cups pineapple
chunks
1 banana, sliced
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut
2-4
tablespoons dried cranberries
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
1
tablespoon water
1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
Directions
Combine the oranges, pineapple, banana, coconut, and cranberries in a medium
bowl.
Combine the orange juice concentrate, water, and optional almond extract in a
small bowl. Pour over the fruit and toss until evenly distributed.
Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Ambrosia (without
the banana) will keep for up to 2 days.

Thanks Daniel. Sounds delicious. I’ve made something similar in the past but never with the coconut or cranberries and instead of oranges I’ve used mandarin oranges. Will have to give it a try.
Healthy Blessings,
