Fruity Coconut Salad

I haven't posted much lately, for a few reasons - I've been super busy at work - I went on holiday to Japan and Australia for 3 weeks - and, I've just been really uncreative with cooking. So in an attempt to get back into it, I'm embracing coconuts again...

Fruity Coconut Salad
2 cups grated coconut
2 cups grated carrot (if you can find them)
1 shallot, chopped
1 pawpaw, chopped
1 small cucumber, seeds removed and diced
1/2 pineapple, diced
1 large tomato, diced (or about 6 small ones, chopped in half)
2 mangoes, diced
Mint leaves, chopped (might need to rely on your own garden for this one...)
1 tbsp lemon (bushlime) juice
1 tbsp coconut oil

Mix together the first ten ingredients. Refrigerate if not serving straight away. Mix the lemon/lime juice and coconut oil to pour over the rest, just before serving.
