I bet the coconut oil would give salads a great taste. I love to add berries to salads too. Especially the dried ones.
I'll have to get some.

the coconut oil would have to be heated to use for salad dressing. its got a rather low melting point and melts at about 75 degrees. below that(room temp) in the jar it kinda looks and feels like parafin wax. straight outa the can its tastes horrid, but you can cook with it. you can use it instead of butter for frying. it'd take quite a bit to do fried chicken but i imagine it would taste pretty good. i know people who use it as a spread on toast in the morning with a dash of cinnamon. its got a great shelf life and doesnt go rancid like vegi oils can and its supposed to give a boost to your immune system. whats not to like?
