Oh, thanks for this! It looks wonderful and has all my favourite things in it!
That does look gorgeous and fresh and tasty. Perfect for a weekend breakfast.
surely healthy and fresh and filling.
That fruit salad looks good!
To be honest I saw 'Ambrosia' and was afraid to come and look, my childhood memories were horror stories, but ahhhhh yours is refreshing and I do not see any 'jello' involved :)
How delicious!! Beautiful and refreshing!
This really is gorgeous, looks healthy and easy to make too!
Beautiful colors - sounds like a wonderful and healthy dessert!
Gorgeous indeed! Colorful and healthy - what could be better?
looks pretty,,I posted a colorful dish too last time..:)
Gorgeous indeed! I saw ambrosia and was afraid it would involve creamed rice, which is something I just can't eat. This, on the other hand, I could eat no problem :)
Funny to read a couple of people's comments as they imagine what kind of ambrosia you'd whip up. :) This looks just great. Perfect for a bit of summer eating.
Mmm...looks divine. Sounds good right about now too!!!
that looks so colourful..and so lovely with all those fruits..
Ooh yours is healthier than mine. I put masrhmallows and sour cream and cool whip in mine. Yikes but it is good. OK I'll be healthy!
A lovely, light fruit dessert with lots of flavor. And I love adding the coconut for texture. Who wouldn't love this?
Fruit salads make for a wonderful and healthy dessert...I'm in!
healthy AND delicious? i think there could be a comeback in the works...
Oh yum! That does look lovely.
I have to make this for my husband! He's been mentioning that he loves grapefruit and hasn't had it in forever. I didn't like it as a kid so never buy it but this looks like a good recipe to try it in.
