I like to add a little bit of chopped nuts to this salad for extra crunch.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a bowl of it in my fridge.

I used canned fruit cocktail instead of fresh fruit. It was just as good and saved me a lot of time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious!
