Ingredients
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- 1 large fresh pineapple
- 4 kiwis
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves
- 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, add shredded coconut. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cube the pineapple and place it into a large bowl.
- Slice each kiwi in half, scoop out the fruit with a spoon, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the pineapple.
- Roll the mint leaves together, thinly slice (julienne), and add to the fruit.
- Zest and juice the limes into a separate bowl. Add honey and whisk to combine. Pour over the fruit and toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the salad.
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the toasted coconut separate to maintain its crunch, adding just before serving.
- Feel free to swap fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or watermelon for a different flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup.
- For extra flavor, use fresh basil if mint is not to your taste.
