Orange Cocoanut Salad

This salad benefits from being made 2 to 4 hours ahead, allowing the fruit to macerate in the sweetened wine. It can be prepared up to 8 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Add the final layer of coconut just before serving to maintain its texture.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Note that the coconut will soften and the fruits will release more liquid over time. Drain excess liquid before serving if desired. Not suitable for freezing due to the high water content of fresh fruit.
