Carribean Sunrise Salad: Three Month Supply Food Storage Recipes

Doesn’t it look delicious? Well it is! I created this salad when I was assigned to bring a fruit dish to a bbq I was attending. I looked in my fridge and realized I had a hand full of strawberries and like 4 grapes to my name. YIKES! You see my problem. That isn’t too appetizing of a fruit dish. I also knew that no one would appreciate a can of pineapple thrown in a bowl either. So thanks to my handy dandy 3 month supply I was able to combine canned fruit with fresh fruit to make a DELICIOUS, tropical salad.

2 cans mandarin oranges, drained

1 can chunked pinapple, drained

2 C. sliced strawberries

1/2 C. coconut (optional)

1/4 C. chopped walnuts (optional) or granola

lemon meringue yogurt (this is my favorite, it gives it a marshmallowie taste) or plain lemon yogurt or…if you don’t have any yogurt remember that whipped topping we can make out of powdered milk? That works great too as fruit dip or in this salad. It makes it taste like coconut milk, especially if you add in the coconut. YUMMY!

Toss and serve immediately (or at least fairly soon. The strawberries will go bad quickly with all the other sugary juices).
