Provided by Melaine

Categories     Low Protein

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1 1/3 ounce) package whipped topping (dream whip)
1/2 cup cold milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup nuts
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

  • Add pineapple and nuts.

  • Chill 3 hours.
  • Garnish with whole strawberrys.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm tilapia fillets. Look for fillets that are bright pink or white in color, with no brown or gray spots. The flesh should be firm to the touch and not mushy.
  • Properly season the tilapia. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also marinate the tilapia in a flavorful liquid, such as lemon juice, olive oil, or yogurt, before cooking.
  • Cook the tilapia gently. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Pan-frying, baking, or grilling are all good methods for cooking tilapia. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the fish dry and tough.
  • Prepare the strawberry-pineapple salsa while the tilapia is cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld together. Be sure to use fresh, ripe strawberries and pineapple. You can also add other fruits and vegetables to the salsa, such as mango, papaya, or red onion.
  • Serve the tilapia salad with the strawberry-pineapple salsa. You can also add other toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, or lime wedges. This salad is a refreshing and healthy meal that's perfect for summer.

Conclusion:

Tilapia salad with strawberry-pineapple salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for summer. The tilapia is cooked gently and seasoned well, while the strawberry-pineapple salsa is bursting with fresh flavor. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
