- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1⁄8-1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions
- Spread the coconut out on a baking sheet.
- Toast in a 350° oven for 5-7 minutes until light gold; stir frequently and don't let the coconut burn; set aside.
- Drain the pineapple chunks and reserve 3 tablespoons of the juice.
- Set the pineapple chunks aside; whisk together the 3 tablespoons pineapple juice and remaining dressing ingredients in a large serving bowl.
- Add in the pineapple chunks, chicken, mango, banana, green onion, and bell pepper; toss to coat well.
- Divide the lettuce leaves among individual plates.
- Spoon salad onto the center of the lettuce.
