This is delicious. It seems so simple, but it really, really works.
Excellent vegan dessert, received very positive feedback. I served this with whipped coconut cream which had been slightly sweetened with a dash of vanilla. I doubled the recipe and it served approximately ten generous servings. Very tangy.
Love this, so easy to do and delicious. The recipe in Adria's book suggests that this also works with apples, pears and kiwi fruit. I've tried the apples and pears and recommend that you use firm rather than ripe "soft" fruit for the salad. BTW, make at least twice what you think you're going to need.
