This EASY to make, sweet and delicious tropics inspired Piña Colada Fluff Salad, with pineapple and coconut, only takes 5 minutes to prepare and serves 8!
I recently made a tropical inspired Piña Colada Fluff Salad, with crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, rum extract and miniature marshmallows as a side dish.
My husband and I can’t stay out of it, grabbing a spoonful here and there, because it is incredibly good! Bonus? IT ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO MAKE!
When I first showed this piña colada fluff salad to my husband, he didn’t seem too thrilled since he’s not much of a pineapple and coconut kind of guy. But- after he took a taste, he took another bite, said it was “refreshing”, and another, and then another!
You get the picture! He ended up absolutely LOVING this sweet taste of the tropics “dessert” salad, made in about 5 minutes! How’s THAT for a real timesaver!? I can’t vouch for its “healthiness” (ha ha- who am I kidding?), but I can vouch for its “amazingness”!
