Sweet Cherry Juicy Grape Cashew Coconut Lettuce Salad

I enjoy salads, but I need to always, to do something different,
otherwise they can get boring:
You always need to start with a good quality lettuce. I like the butter lettuce type.
I like also to use a head leaf lettuce rather than lettuce in a bag.
Like always, you choose what you like:)
The flavor in this salad is great, kind of a surprise when you are eating it.
When you add fruit to a savory salad it gives it a new layer:)
This is a perfect salad, it has a refreshing element to it, with the addition to the cashews
that give it a saltiness!  

Sweet Cherry Juicy Grape Cashew Coconut Lettuce Salad
serves 4

1 Large head of leaf lettuce
24 cherries
24 grapes
1 cup  salted cashews
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup coconut flakes
4 teaspoons of mayonnaise (vegan)
2 teaspoons of honey 
sea salt

Wash lettuce and dry, then wash and cut cherries(take out pit) and grapes in half.
Arrange lettuce over 4 plates and divide the ingredients over each plate!
Mix coconut milk, mayo, honey until well combined, then add a good pinch of sea salt!
Before adding the dressing add a pinch of sea salt over each salad!
Then drizzle dressing evenly over each salad.
The pictures are before the dressing, I didn't take one after I added the dressing:(
