Great combination of flavors! I modified the proportions by using two pineapples only and doubling the amount of cashews and coconut. I made the full amount of cream sauce, but used slightly less once I mixed everything. I took this to a family gathering and everyone really liked this fresh and different fruit salad. The recipe didn't indicate what type of coconut- so I used fresh coconut that I shredded and toasted myself. Prepared for ZWT4. Thanks for sharing!

This is an excellent tasting pineapple salad. With the combination of run, coconut and the pineapple it is very much like a pina colada, yum. This makes a large salad and could easily be halved. For simplicity and speed, I saw frozen pineapple chunks and used those. Made for ZWT's trip to Africa.

Really refreshing! I made mine with just a little more coconut and nuts and used macadamias instead of cashews since I don't know where my cashews got off to. I also went a little lighter on the rum, and used half and half to top the fruit. Made for ZWT4 Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles. ~Sue

Seeing CaliforniaJan's photo had me making this one - made a scaled down version which has me knowing this one is company quality. Can't wait to make it for family and friends! Other then not having access to a fresh coconut I made as posted (used flaked coconut as I do in many of my fruit salads.) Loved it!! ZWT 4.
