Very blah tasting even after adding extra coconut flavoring. Maybe a pineapple gelatin would help rather than an unflavored gelatin, or a flavored yogurt would add taste.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"09\/30\/2011 21:44","GUID":"b78e9f07f2e6468caa88cc609dd0703d","MemberId":3548751,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"karway44","SubmittedDate":"09\/30\/2011 21:44"},{"Comment":"
I took this salad to an office potluck, although I did not use a mold, and it was a hit, with many people asking for the recipe. Now I plan to take the salad to a retirement party for the judge I worked for--so glad the recipe was easy to retrieve online! Pina Colada is a favorite flavor of mine and this salad is so good!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"06\/22\/2010 17:38","GUID":"BB7BEF18C18B4F76A106391B033CF339","MemberId":629378,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"DianneBerst","SubmittedDate":"06\/22\/2010 17:38"},{"Comment":"
I had this at a Christmas brunch and at first people were passing it by. But once someone tasted it and raved about it, it was a huge hit. My whole family loved it.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"01\/06\/2010 12:19","GUID":"0f9a131f8bf94ab89d20fce01eb1f937","MemberId":1344721,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"cookiequeen58","SubmittedDate":"01\/06\/2010 12:19"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"07\/18\/2007 11:01","GUID":"6f0e6291a51b4325bc5384e56c2a678e","MemberId":2099315,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"dichje","SubmittedDate":"07\/18\/2007 11:01"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
