Pina Colada Salad.

This is a new one.  It’s from The Pampered Chef.  It’s tasty.  I’ll probably do it again…

Pina Colada Salad

1 medium pineapple

1 lime

1 6oz. container pina colada yogurt

1/2 cup cool whip

1/2 cup sweetened flaked (shredded) coconut

Ingredients.

Peel and core your pineapple.  If you have a pineapple wedger (which is one of the coolest things I’ve purchased in a while), it’s a snap.  Cut pineapple into bits.

Very cool wedger.

See?

Bits.  I didn't know what else to call them.

Use lime to get 1 tsp zest and 1 Tbsp juice.

I also have a cool zester.  And I don't always measure ingredients accurately.  That's probalby way more than a teaspoon.  But, whatever.

Combine yogurt, zest and juice in a small bowl and blend until smooth.  Fold in cool whip.

Blended.

Fold.

Place coconut into a microwave-safe dish.  Microwave on high for a minute or so (maybe less, you have to watch it) until golden brown.  Stop the microwave and stir a few times in the process.

Toasted.  The first try was a lot more burny looking.

Spoon white stuff over pineapple.  Sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Pretty tasty!

Or pretty AND tasty.

    Ha! ‘The first was a lot more burny looking.’ That’s comedy!

    Yum. I think I’d eat just the white stuff in a bowl.

  3. Peggy says:

    It all looks good…except the coconut. I only like coconut when it’s surrounded by chocolate.

    (I need a good zester…is that Pamered Chief?)

    I got to use that pineapple skinner. It was great, and I understand the pineapple feels very little pain in the process.
