Serving Variation:
To serve ambrosia salad in orange cups, cut six oranges in half. Hollow out orange halves with grapefruit spoon; reserve pulp and juice for another use. Wrap hollowed-out oranges tightly in plastic wrap and refigerate until serving time. When ready to serve, spoon 1/2 cup ambrosia salad into each orange half and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
