"This is a great dessert that can be made up quickly using things we always have on hand! (time to make does not include chilling time, throw together before dinner, and it will be ready for dessert!)."

Delicious and refreshing. I used greek yoghurt flavoured with honey and vanilla and toasted, dessicated (dry) coconut. Loved that this used pantry ingredients and was ready in minutes! -
Great fruit salad! I didnt add the coconut because DH is not fond of it but did mix some in my bowl. Would like to try this using fruit cocktail and cherry yogurt. Thank you so much iewe for posting this recipe, we will be enjoying it a lot! Made and reviewed for ZWT5, Bodacious Brickhouse Babes team. -
This is yummy! I mixed it up before heading out yesterday afternoon and was happy to have it ready to go by the time we returned home. Being able to prepare this ahead of time and being so easy to do makes this especially appealing. This is a nice mix of tropical flavors and I like the different textures going on. I even put a little bit of this over some angel food cake and that was super yummy too. I'm sure we'll make this again soon. Thanks! Made for ZWT 5 and glad I did for the Genies of Gourmet. =) -
Comfort food at its best. This salad rally is a yummy dessert hiding out with the salads. Made for ZWT9. -
Your recipe was similar enough it brought back those warm, fuzzy memories of a childhood holiday favorite at my grandmother's. The vanilla yogurt was a new spin and added to the dish. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am the mother of three, wife of one :)
My teenager is the pickiest eater in the world, while my 3 year old will eat anything (though has been acting more and more fickle lately). Our newest addition was born in June 2008, so she doesn't really know much in the way of varieties of food. My husband says "I don't care what you fix, as long as it has meat in it."
I have thousands of recipes saved on my computer from over the years, and am constantly on the lookout for new ones. I also seem to have accumulated hundreds of cookbooks over the years. I am (slowly) trying to go thru all the recipes I have saved and add them to 'Zaar, but this will take some time. I try to only post things that my family (or I) will eat (though I haven't necessarily yet tried every recipe I have posted).
