Pina Colada Salad.

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

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.
