Hawaiian Fruit Salad

I saw this recipe in the taste of Homes and thought it sounded good.

1 whole fresh pineapple
15 oz. mandarin oranges
1 1/1-2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups green grapes
1 1/4 cups soy pina-colada flavored yogurt-I used Lime Yogurt
1/2 cup flaked, toasted coconut
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Directions:
1-Stand the pineapple upright, vertically cut 1/3 from one side of pineapple, leaving leaves attached. Remove strips of pineapple from the large section leaving a 1/2" shell, discard core. Cut strips in bite-size pieces. Invert bowl on paper towel to drain. Remove fruit from the small section, cut into chunks. Discard peel.
2-Combine all the fruit in another bowl. In small bowl mix together yogurt and extract. Mix, gently mix with fruit.
3-Spoon into pineapple shell, sprinkle with coconut.


I am sure you have all made the pineapple boat from one time or another. It is just so very pretty on a serving table.

I did not put mine in a pineapple boat as it was just for me.


Enjoy!!!

Have a wonderful day!!
