A simple dressing made with flavored yogurt coats this refreshing combination of fresh and canned fruit. It looks spectacular when presented in a pineapple boat and sprinkled with toasted coconut. Ingredients:
1 whole fresh pineapple |
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
1-1/2 cups green grapes, halved |
1-1/4 cups pina colada-flavored or vanilla yogurt |
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted, divided |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon coconut or vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Stand the pineapple upright and vertically cut a third from one side, leaving the leaves attached. Set cut piece aside. Using a paring or grapefruit knife, remove strips of pineapple from large section, leaving a 1/2-in. shell; discard core. Cut strips into bite-size chunks. Invert shell onto paper towels to drain.
2. Remove fruit from the small pineapple piece and cut into chunks; discard peel. Place shell in a serving basket or bowl.
3. In another bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, oranges, strawberries and grapes. Combine the yogurt, 1/4 cup coconut and extract; spoon over fruit and stir gently. Spoon into pineapple shell. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Yield: 6 servings.
