Ambrosia Salad with Sweet Tea Vinaigrette

Just the name AMBROSIA sounds so yummy. I love tea and a tea salad dressing is a fun and delicious way to add some sparkle to this fruit salad that is perfect for dessert (with- out the spinach) or as a starter to a great meal.

Recipe note: Toast coconut and pecans on a cookie sheet in a 350°F oven for five minutes.
