Pina Colada and Fruit Salad
by Tarla Dalal
Pina Colada is the ever-popular combination of pineapples and coconut meat or coconut water. This tongue-tickling tropical combo comes to us in many forms ranging from juices and mocktails to salads too. Here, we toss this peppy duo with more fruits like bananas, berries and apples, and dress it in a luscious mixture of coconut milk and cream.
Grated coconut is added to the dressing to give it a nice, flaky texture. You can choose any fruits which are in season to make the Pina Colada and Fruit Salad. Apples and bananas are a good choice because they make the salad naturally sweet.
