Ambrosia Fruit Salad | Making It Grow

Nutritionist Trisha Mandes joins us at "Making It Grow" and along with host Amanda McNulty, creates a healthy and tasty Ambrosia Fruit Salad.

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

  1. 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).
  2. Combine the pineapple juice and optional almond extract in a small bowl and mix.
  3. Pour the juice mixture over the fruit and toss until evenly distributed. 
  4. Transfer to a smaller serving bowl.
