Step 1

In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the shredded coconut for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped roasted cashews on top for a delightful crunch.

Step 8

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
