Ensalada De Noche Buena Christmas Eve Salad
A beautiful festive salad. Perfect salad to serve at holiday gatherings. Adapted from a recipe i found many years ago. I don't add the coconut but the original recipe did. I use the canned fruits for ease when making this to take to a potlucks, however fresh fruits and beets can be used. Dressing can be made earlier in day also.
