What was I supposed to do when faced with twelve packages of Cocozia 100% Organic Coconut Water? I could always have just mixed them up with some vodka, a bit of fruit juice, and called it a day, but what would have been the fun in that. Oh, I’m sure it will happen, eventually, because now that I mentioned it I am suddenly having a strange desire for a cocktail, but this time around I decided to come up with a salad dressing. Not just any salad dressing either, but a salad dressing that could also be used as a sauce or a marinade. I’ll be sharing my recipe for Asian Coconut Water Roasted Potatoes very soon. I’m not sure which I loved more, the salad or the potatoes. Next time maybe I’ll combine them, and have an Asian Coconut Water Roasted Potato Blood Orange Salad. Even better, perhaps I’ll add a few thinly sliced strips of steak that have been marinated in Blood Orange Coconut Water Salad Dressing to make it even more amazing. Yum, I’m hungry, and I think I’m going to need a bigger supply of Cocozia 100% Organic Coconut Water.

Suggestions:

Improvements:
