To assemble, place half of the remaining pineapple pieces and 1/3 cup orange segments in bottom of a 3-1/2 to 4-qt. trifle dish, arranging fruit decoratively around outside edge of dish. Top with half of the pudding mixture, spreading pudding to outside edge of dish. Layer with half of the banana bread cubes and 1 container whipped topping.
