You know how some people spend their entire summer at the pool? And eat their lunch there, and play with friends there, and basically live there from June through August? Well. That couldn’t be further from my reality. And I’m totally ok with it.

what you’ll need for this recipe

Pineapple – Pineapple is the main ingredient in this recipe. For the best flavor and texture, I would definitely recommend using fresh instead of canned or frozen. I used one whole pineapple, cut into bite sized chunks.

Greek yogurt – Greek yogurt is the base of the creamy honey lime dressing. I used 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (substitute sour cream OR vanilla Greek yogurt.)

Honey – I added 2 Tablespoons honey to the plain yogurt to sweeten it. *If you use vanilla yogurt, you may want to omit the honey.

Lime juice – 2 teaspoons of lime juice adds delicious tartness to this fruit salad, and just like the pineapple, I would recommend using fresh lime juice if possible.

Toasted coconut – No piña colada is complete without coconut, so I added 1/4 cup toasted coconut just before serving.
