Pink Grapefruit Salad with Toasted Coconut and Fresh Mint

If you like Thai food for its bright flavors, you will find this dish positively dazzling. Thais make it with pomelo, grapefruit’s thick-skinned, misshapen, and sweeter cousin. Pomelo is quite dry, and fairly easy to pull apart by hand. To prepare this salad using the juicier grapefruit, use two forks to gently tease grapefruit sections into smaller chunks. Look for unsweetened shredded coconut in natural-food stores, or buy the sweetened shredded coconut available in the supermarket baking
