This fruit salad was one of the best I've ever had (or made). My guests
loved it. I think it's worth posting:
Tropical Fruit Salad with Toasted Coconut
1/2 cup shredded coconut 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored
and cut into 1/2-inch chunks 1 ripe papaya, peeled,
seeded and cut into
2/2-inch chunks 1 ripe cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut
into
3/2-inch chunks 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted and cut into
4/2-inch chunks 6 fresh mint leaves
Preheat an oven to 350°F. Spread the coconut on a baking pan
and toast in the oven until golden, about 5 minutes. Set
aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine all the fruit. Cover
and keep chilled until ready to serve. Just before serving,
sprinkle with the toasted coconut and spoon onto small
plates. Garnish with mint leaves. Serves 6 to 8. Source: Williams-
