Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread shredded coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly browned and fragrant. Remove and let cool.
  2. Cube the fresh pineapple and place it in a large mixing bowl. Cut ripe kiwis in half, scoop out the flesh, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the pineapple.
  3. Roll fresh mint leaves tightly and slice them thinly (julienne). Gently mix into the fruit bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, zest the limes and squeeze in the juice. Combine with honey, whisking until smooth.
  5. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruity mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.
