Ambrosia Extreme Makeover
Recipe courtesy Pilar Sanchez
Show:  Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello
Episode:  Pot luck Challenge
1 cup creme fraiche, sour cream or yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
12 fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 ripe bananas
1 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1 ripe pineapples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 cup red seedless grapes
3 kiwi, peeled and sliced

In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, orange and lemon juices, sugar and mint.

Peel and slice the bananas, put in a large bowl, along with the cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries and grapes. Add the crème fraiche mixture and toss gently to coat the fruit with the dressing.

Put the salad into a serving dish or bowl and garnish with the kiwi slices.

Chef's notes:
I've also served this salad with a scoop of frozen yogurt instead of mixing in crème fraiche.
