Creamy Fruit Salad with Coconut Poppy Seed Dressing
Creamy Fruit Salad with Coconut Dressing ~ it's grandma's potluck classic spiffed up and brought into the 21st century with a vegan coconut lime dressing, and trust me, you won't miss the marshmallows, the mayo, or the Cool Whip one bit!
Ingredients
6 cups total:
- melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew peeled and chopped
- berries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries
- citrus fruit, orange and grapefruit supremed
- grapes, black and red whole or sliced in half
- mango, peeled and chopped
- passionfruit, peeled and chopped
- kiwi, sliced and cut into wedges
- pineapple, peeled and chopped
dressing
- 1 can full fat coconut milk, you can also use coconut cream which is thicker and richer
- juice of 1 lime, if your lime is very dry you might need more
- 2 Tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp sugar or honey, or to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine all the fruit.
- If you are using coconut milk open the can and carefully drain off 1/4 cup of the clear liquid. Put the remaining coconut milk in a small bowl with the sugar, poppy seeds, and lime juice. Blend well with an immersion blender. You can also use a whisk, but I like the texture you get from blending. Take a taste. You may want to add more lime, or adjust the sweetener.
- If you are using coconut cream measure out about 2/3 cup and proceed as above.
- Gently toss the salad with plenty of dressing and serve asap.
