Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add shredded coconut, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Cubing your ripe pineapple, place the pieces in a large mixing bowl. Halve each kiwi, scoop out the flesh, and slice into bite-sized pieces. Combine both in the bowl.
  3. Roll fresh mint leaves tightly into a cylinder. Slice them thinly to create ribbons and sprinkle over the fruit mixture.
  4. Zest and juice the fresh limes in a separate bowl. Add honey and whisk until smooth. Pour over the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Refrigerate the salad for about 15-30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut on top.
