MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS (4 SERVINGS)

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!

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


1. Combine the oranges, pineapple, banana, coconut, and cranberries
in a medium bowl.

2. Combine the orange juice concentrate, water, and almond extract in
a small bowl. Pour over the fruit and toss until evenly distributed.

3. Stored in a covered container in the refrigerator, leftover Ambrosia
(without the banana) will keep for up to 2 days.
