Preparation time: 10 minutes

1 medium banana (about 8 inches long), sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin orange sections in light syrup, chilled and drained
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, chilled and drained
2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped and toasted
2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

In a small bowl, toss banana slices with lemon juice, coating well to prevent browning. Drain off excess lemon juice and transfer banana slices to a serving dish. Add mandarin orange sections and pineapple chunks and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and toasted coconut, and serve right away.
