STEP 1

STEP 2

Blend at high speed until completely smooth, about 6 minutes. If it's too thick add the rest of the water. For a really smooth sauce strain through a fine mesh strainer.

STEP 3

Place sauce in a small container and refrigerate for 30 min. In a large bowl combine the apples, pineapple, grapes, coconut and chopped pecans. Pour sauce over it and mix well. Serve.

You can use cashews instead of almonds if you prefer. Some people add raisins, maraschino cherries, carrots, and even celery. If you want to go a little crazy you could add vegan mini marshmallows. I recommend that once you've tossed the fruit salad you serve it the same day.
