Tropical Pina Colada Salad
Transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise with our delightful Pina Colada Salad. This salad is a luscious blend of juicy, fresh pineapple and sweet flaked coconut, reminiscent of the classic Pina Colada cocktail. It's kissed with a hint of rum flavor, thanks to the rum extract, and the Greek yogurt base adds a tangy contrast, making it the perfect refreshing dish for hot summer days.
Ingredients
- Rum extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Greek yogurt
- 1 cup
- Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup
- Sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup
- Fresh pineapple
- 2 cups, diced
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, flaked coconut, and mini marshmallows. Toss them gently until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and rum extract until smooth. This will be your creamy Pina Colada dressing.
- Drizzle the Pina Colada dressing over the fruit and marshmallow mixture. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients in the dressing.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld together and the marshmallows to soften slightly, creating a better texture.
- Give the salad a quick stir before serving, and enjoy your taste of the tropics!
Tips
- For a fun variation, try adding other tropical fruits like mango or papaya to the salad.
- You can also toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the salad for a deeper flavor and extra crunch.
- If you're serving this to adults and want to add a bit more kick, you can replace the rum extract with actual rum. Be sure to adjust to taste!
