Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dark rum (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the canned crushed pineapple. If it is very watery, lightly drain it to remove excess liquid, but leave it slightly juicy for extra flavor.
Add the coconut milk, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, and dark rum (if using).
Sprinkle in the salt, and whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking by adding more honey or lime juice, if needed.
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the sauce cold with your favorite appetizers like coconut shrimp, fried chicken strips, or fresh tropical fruits like mango and papaya.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
