Recipe Introduction

To keep this Vegan I modified this by switching plain yogurt to soy yogurt or you may want to try silken Tofu. instead.

List of Ingredients

1 8 oz. can unsweetened crushed pineapple, juice-packed
4 c. grated carrots
2 small oranges, cut in chunks
1/2 c. chopped dates (about 8 dates)

Dressing:
1 l/2 c. plain soy yogurt
1/4 c.frozen orange-juice concentrate
2 tsp. poppy seeds
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. nutmeg


Recipe

1. Drain the pineapple well, pressing with a fork to remove excessjuice, and combine with the carrots, oranges, and dates in a large bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, stir the dressing ingredients together; add to the carrots and fruits. Toss thoroughly to coat the salad ingredients with the dressing.

Yield: about 5 cups.
