Recipe Notes

For toasted coconut flakes:  Heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coconut flakes out.  Bake the coconut flakes for 3-6 minutes or until perfectly golden brown.  Watch closely as they toast up quickly!

 

Store salad in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
