MARINATED FRUIT WITH COCONUT DRESSING



Marinated Fruit With Coconut Dressing image

Bird created this very simple and beautiful recipe with great flavor that you can be made several hours before serving. You can opt to grill the fruit on skewers for k-bobs or just mix and serve in a decorative bowl. For the dip, I simply added shredded coconut to my sister's wonderful Recipe #340254, creating a 'family' recipe. :)
