Very good! I made this last night for out Super Bowl party and everyone loved it. I subbed fresh mint leaves for the coconut. I felt it needed a bit of color and the mint worked very well.

I loved this salad. The spices added made this sooooo yummy. My kids however weren't as impressed but they still ate their one helping. I've decieded I will divide this recipe in half next time and omit the cinnamon, cardamom adn ginger on their half. Thank you so much for a more complex flavored fruit salad.

I'm not a big fan of fruit salads, but this was a pretty good one. Thanks for sharing!
