Ambrosia is what you are looking for, and can be used as an appetizer, with dinner, or for a dessert. If using for a dessert, top with whipped cream or cool whip, if desired. (I prefer the marshmallows.) Enjoy!
AMBROSIA
6 navel (seedless) oranges
1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
1-cup coconut (shredded fresh, fresh frozen, or packaged sweetened)
1 large banana
Mini marshmallows (optional)
1 small (4-1/2-ounce) bottle maraschino cherries, drained well
Peel the oranges, taking care to remove all the white pith. Separate the segments over a bowl or storage container so that you catch any juice, and add the segments to the bowl. Add the pineapple and coconut to the orange slices and gently toss. The ambrosia can be refrigerated up to two days, covered.
When ready to serve, slice the banana and toss it with other fruits. (Add marshmallows, if desired.) Add the cherries last. Makes 8 servings.
