In our house, summertime brings swim parties, barbeques and lots of fun. To celebrate the end of summer, I’m throwing a luau swim party for the girls with a few friends and have found the perfect recipe to serve- Tropical Coconut Pizza with Dole Tropical Fruit.

Shopping at Safeway for Dole fruit was a piece of (fruit) cake. I felt like a VIP when the produce manager saw me shopping for Dole Strawberries and asked if I would like to sample them first. He opened a carton and pulled out a knife to trim the tops handing one to each of my daughters first.
Dole Bananas at Safeway
After picking up fresh fruit like Dole Strawberries, Dole bananas and kiwi, I headed to the canned fruit isle to find Dole Mandarin Oranges.
Buy one get one free at Safeway- sweet. I’ll use one can for my Dole Coconut Pizza and one for a Chinese Chicken Salad.
Preparing the fruit pizza took just minutes, but must be done ahead of time to give the crust time to freeze.

This is the perfect recipe for kids to help make- my girls enjoyed mixing the cream cheese and arranging the fruit. Stay tuned for photos from our small luau when our guests get to sample this delicious summertime treat. For more photos, check out my Google+ album!
