For the Salad

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it turns a light golden brown.
  2. While the coconut is toasting, cube the fresh pineapple and slice the kiwis in half, scooping out the fruit and cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Roll up the mint leaves tightly and slice them thinly to create ribbons. Toss the mint into the bowl with your prepared pineapple and kiwi.
  4. In a separate small bowl, zest and juice your limes. Whisk in the honey until smooth.
  5. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit and mint mixture. Gently toss until the fruits are evenly coated.
  6. Refrigerate the salad for a few minutes to chill. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.
