Parsley Coconut Salad

My mother makes this delicious simple salad and I always ask her to make it. It's a very light and flavourful salad that goes well with chicken, fish and pork. It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days. The only hard part is grating your coconut. And I mean buy the real coconut, crack shell, pour juice out and grate the flesh. You can't use frozen grated coconut because it's too watery and you can't use dried coconut that is usually for baking because the texture and flavor won't be the same. It's the extra work but so worth it for this salad.


Parsley Coconut Salad

1 bunch curly parsley
1 cup grated fresh coconut
1/2 diced red onion
1 juice of a lime

1)Finely chop your parsley
2)Add your grated coconut, diced onion and lime juice.
3)Stir and refrigerate.


Here I'm enjoying my jerk chicken legs with some rice and parsley coconut salad. Yum indeed!
