Chinese Mayonnaise Fruit Salad With Shrimp
Many people are turned off by the idea of adding mayonnaise to fruit salad, but I absolutely love it. It has been one of my favorite desserts since I was very young. When done right, it does not actually taste like mayonnaise at all. It is just very creamy and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2.84 liters Dole Tropical Fruit Salad
- 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 cups raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (see notes)
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Drain most of the liquid from the canned fruit. In a large bowl, toss the fruit with salt, then place it in a colander and let it drain for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours to get rid of all the moisture. While the fruit is draining, you can prepare the shrimp.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the shrimp. Let the shrimp sit for about 3 minutes until they are pink and fully cooked. Transfer to a bowl of ice water. Once they are cooled, drain the water and set aside the shrimp.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained fruit, mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, and shrimp. Toss to evenly coat then serve immediately.
Notes
Note: The most important step of this recipe is to salt and drain the fruit properly. If possible, let it sit for 2-3 hours in a colander, or use a salad spinner for a couple of minutes.
