Pina Colada Fruit Salad

Summer is coming and nothing goes better with your outdoor BBQ than a good fruit salad.  I have lots of fruit salad favorites but this new recipe caught my eye since I'm pina colada crazy.  I would add maraschino cherries just because...well, you can't have a pina colada without the cherry! The pina colada dressing is light and refreshing.

Pina Colada Fruit Salad

　

1-1/2 cups green grapes

1-1/2 cups seedless red grapes

1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries

1-1/2 cups halved fresh strawberries

1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained

1/2 cup fresh raspberries

maraschino cherries (I added!)

1 can (10 ounces) frozen non-alcoholic pina colada mix, thawed

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup pineapple-orange juice

1/8 teaspoon almond extract

1/8 teaspoon coconut extract

Directions

In a serving bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the pina colada mix, sugar, juice and extracts until sugar is dissolved. Pour over fruit; toss to coat. Chill until serving. Yield: 9 servings.

(note:  I can't wait for watermelon to be on....I think this salad dressing would be perfect for watermelon and pineapple.)
