How to make the daily dessert recipe Ambrosia Fruit Salad from Making It Grow
/I had the honor of flying to South Carolina to film two cooking segments on the Public Television show Making It Grow. I adore this show (they teach you all about plants!). I LOVE to cook plants and help people Shed Pounds Sustainably by eating A LOT of them (without counting, weighing or measuring!).

Ambrosia Fruit Salad
By: Nutritionist, Trisha Mandes, MPHN
Ingredients
Two oranges, peeled and sliced into wedges
One can pineapple rings (unsweetened, in fruit juice). Keep the juice from the can
¼ cup Juice from the pineapple rings can
Two bananas, sliced
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut (optional)
One cup purple grapes, rinsed and cut in half
1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
Instructions
Combine the oranges, pineapple, banana and grapes in a large bowl (if not serving right away, don’t add the banana. Add the banana right before serving otherwise it browns).
Combine the pineapple juice and optional almond extract in a small bowl and mix.
Pour the juice mixture over the fruit and toss until evenly distributed.
Transfer to a smaller serving bowl.
Sprinkle coconut on top.
This is a simple and refreshing daily dessert (you can eat it everyday!) and is perfect for entertaining as well.
