Ingredients:

The fruit salad:

• 2/3 cup tangerine segments
• 1 cup orange segments
• 1 cup coconut, freshly grated
• 1 cup pink grapefruit segments
• 2/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
• 2/3 cup pomegranate seeds

The dressing:

• 1/4 cup Coco Lopez
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1/3 tsp. cayenne

1. Prepare the dressing

The dressing needs to be cold to be used in this dish. Take a medium-sized bowl and put all of the ingredients for the dressing in it. Blend everything together with a whisk. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until the dressing is needed.

2. Prepare the fruit salad

When ready to make the dish, in another medium-sized bowl, mix together the dressing with the segments of citrus fruit and the coconut. The fruit pieces should look neat, so fold the ingredients together with care. The salad should be chilled in the refrigerator until the mealtime.

3. Garnish the ambrosia

Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds over the ambrosia before putting the bowl on the table.
