This is a great salad loof. My dh was over the moon. He loved it and kept raving about how great it was. The salad was sweet, tart and tangy, thick, smooth, velvety and silky. I enjoyed the combo of coconut and buttermilk in this dish. I did leave out the nuts as dh is allergic and I made this for him. Thank you so much for sharing this flavorful treat.

Loved the use of buttermilk & coconut in this recipe, but then I'm partial to both those ingredients as well as the use of good ol' JELLO! Easy to make & refreshing, too! A nice reminder of my childhood AND a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]
