Citrus Ambrosia

This makes a refreshing conclusion to a hearty meal. It's also good as part of a brunch or luncheon menu. High in vitamin C, this is a good dish to serve in the winter months when oranges, tangerines and grapefruit are plentiful. If mangoes are available, add some peeled cubes -- they'll make the ambrosia sweeter and more dessert-like.
