For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts. If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought whipped cream instead of whipped topping, but the texture may be slightly different. Feel free to experiment with other fruits, such as mandarin oranges or chopped strawberries. To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, make sure the crushed pineapple is thoroughly drained. For a festive touch, use green-colored coconut flakes for garnish.
