Fruit Salad (Alpha-Gal Friendly)

servings30
minutesSummer time means refreshing, bright, and cool desserts to cool us down(safely). We love a extra juicy fruit salad at our house, so feel free to half the sauce to your preference!
Ingredients
1 pint of strawberries, washed and sliced
1 pint of blueberries, washed
1 fresh(yes, it does make a difference) pineapple; peeled, cored, and sliced
2 apples(your choice, green or red), washed and chopped into bitesize pieces
2 11 oz cans of sweetened condensed coconut milk, AG safe
Juice of 1 lemon(s), see below
1 TBSP vanilla extract (At time of writing this recipe, ‘ Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract’ was listed as green/safe on the Fig app for alpha-gal.)
Sprinkle of cinnamon
Feel free to add seedless grapes, bananas, kiwi, etc!
Directions
- Prep the fruit: wash, peel, and chop everything into bitesized pieces. Add all into a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-Sweetened coconut condensed milk (Start with 1 can depending on how much fruit you have.)
-Lemon juice (start with 1 TBSP, add more to taste)
-Vanilla extract
-Optional small pinch of salt - Combine by gently folding the sauce into the fruit until evenly coated.
- Chill, optional but recommended. I like to give it at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving.
- Optional, but not at my house!
– Top with your favorite alpha-gal safe granola
Notes
- Full disclosure: The sweetened condensed milk I have used for over 2 years is listed yellow/maybe safe in the Fig app, so I will not be recommending the specific product. But there are green options listed and readily available, I just have not personally tried them.
