Ambrosia!

It's finally citrus season and time again for this treat of a fruit salad, named for the food of the gods!

The variations on this salad are endless: pineapple, grapes, cherries, bananas, whipped cream, marshmallows, raisins... Here is my preferred version, which I drizzle with vanilla yogurt "dressing". (If I don't have vanilla yogurt, I whisk 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 2 T. powdered sugar into 1/2 cup plain yogurt.)

For a special goddess-like touch, serve in the hollowed-out orange shell "cups".



Jerusha's Ambrosia

• 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 3 T. shredded coconut

• stirred vanilla yogurt, optional

Stir together and scoop into bowls or orange cups. Serve hot* or cold. Spoon yogurt on top of each serving.

*If desired, arrange filled orange cups in a baking dish and bake at 350 F for 25 minutes. Serve warm and top with cold yogurt.
