Fish Eye Salad (tapioca Fruit Salad) image

This recipe is from my Mother in Law. My brother in law told my kids not to eat grandma's salad because it was made with fish eyes!! It took them a while to convince them that there were no fish eyes in the salad and now they love this treat. They even request it by asking for the Fish Eye Salad--hence the name! Prep time does not include the overnight soaking of the tapioca

Tips:

  • If you are using canned fruit, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • You can use any type of tapioca pearls for this recipe. If you are using quick-cooking tapioca pearls, you will need to cook them for about 15 minutes. If you are using regular tapioca pearls, you will need to cook them for about 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to stir the tapioca pearls frequently while they are cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Once the tapioca pearls are cooked, rinse them under cold water and drain them well.
  • You can add other ingredients to this salad, such as nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut. Get creative and make it your own!
