Description
Pineapple Kiwi Salad is a bright, refreshing fruit salad made with juicy pineapple, fresh kiwi, mint, and a sweet honey-lime dressing, finished with toasted coconut for the perfect tropical touch.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
- 1 large fresh pineapple, cubed
- 4 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 8–10 fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
- 2 limes (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, add shredded coconut. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Cube the pineapple and place it into a large mixing bowl.
- Slice each kiwi in half and use a spoon to scoop out the fruit. Cut into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
- Roll the mint leaves together, thinly slice, and add to the fruit.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest, lime juice, and honey until smooth.
- Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Just before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut over the top.
Notes
- Add toasted coconut right before serving to keep it crisp.
- For extra chill and flavor, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before serving.
- If pineapple isn’t very sweet, add an extra teaspoon of honey.
- Best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
