Pineapple and Mango Spicy Salad

Submitted by Snowbunny Andorra

"OK, this was a bit of an invention yesterday. I had a very ripe mango and a very ripe half pineapple I didn't know what do do with. I wasn't in the mood for a normal fruit salad, so I thought I'd spice things up a little bit. This is what I created, and I served it yesterday with simple grilled salmon and new potatoes. Today, the leftovers have been used in a lunchtime salad. The flavours meld together more the longer you can let it stand (covered, in the fridge). I had some good-quality packet shredded coconut to hand, but it would be better with fresh, if you can get it."
