Ambrosia

 

1 cup each of chopped fresh pineapple, apples, and oranges; sliced

strawberries; and organic grapes

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1 Tbsp. cornstarch

6 Tbsp. lemon juice

3 Tbsp. sugar

3 Tbsp. orange juice

1/2 cup soft tofu, puréed

2 tsp. grated orange rind

1 tsp. poppy seeds (optional)

 

In a large bowl, toss the fruit and coconut until well blended.

Refrigerate.

Combine the cornstarch with the lemon juice in a medium saucepan and

stir until well blended. Place the saucepan over low heat and add the

sugar and orange juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture

thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the stove

and allow to cool thoroughly.

Fold the puréed tofu, orange rind, and poppy seeds into the juice

mixture and chill for at least 1 hour.

Pour the dressing over the fruit immediately before serving.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
