Honeymoon Salad – A Caribbean Delight

A Meatless Mondays Recipe

We call this “Honeymoon Salad” because my husband and I had this dish on our honeymoon in the British Virgin Islands. It’s a delicious Caribbean treat.

The cook on ship rattled off the ingredients but not exact measurements. Adjust to your taste.
