Interesting slaw, but in a good way. I wasn't able to find the tropical fruit cocktail at our local store, so used the regular, omitted the cherries and the nuts. Made for Photo Tag game. :)

Delicious salad which we enjoyed with grilled chicken (Chicken Thighs With Lime and Honey (Oamc)). The changes I made was using slightly different amount of the ingredients listed -- but I think this recipe is very adaptable to different additions/canned fruit. Thanks for sharing!
