Tropical-Fruit Salad with Coconut Crunch image

One of the best parts of summer are the ripe berries and delicious tropical fruits that taste like nature's dessert. The make-ahead crunchy coconut-poppy seed topping adds a unique flair to this healthy dish, which doesn't need to be refrigerated once it arrives at the party.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large egg white
2 tablespoons clover or orange-blossom honey
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract
1 teaspoon grated Meyer-lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Pinch of kosher salt
2/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 quart strawberries, halved lengthwise if large
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick fingers
1 small papaya, peeled, halved, seeded, and cut lengthwise into 1-inch-thick fingers
1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch-thick fingers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk egg white with honey, vanilla, lemon zest and juice, poppy seeds, and salt until foamy and thoroughly combined. Stir in coconut to evenly coat; spread on a rimmed baking sheet in a thin layer.
  • Bake, stirring a few times, until golden in places, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely (mixture will crisp as it cools). Rub between your fingers, breaking up any clumps, until crumbled.
  • Arrange fruits on a platter; sprinkle with coconut crunch to serve. Fruits can be loosely covered with plastic, without coconut crunch, and refrigerated up to 8 hours. Coconut crunch can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
