  • To toast the coconut, spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the Caribbean chicken salad as a main course or as a side dish with grilled seafood or roasted vegetables.
