Refreshing Coconut Fruit Salad

"This is a wonderful fruit salad recipe that I made up a while back. I call it "refreshing" because it is still creamy but doesn't have a ton of sugar and marshmallow cream in it. The toasted coconut heightens the flavor while the untoasted gives a nice chewy texture to the whole thing. For an extra creamy salad, add 1/4 cup fruit yogurt."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love baking best of all, especially breads and cookies, and I'm always looking for new bread recipes to try. I also enjoy recipes using fresh fruits that are refreshing and not overly sugary. I am very sporty and active so I like foods that give you a lot of energy with good nutrition too.
