Compressed pineapple salad

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time Preparation: 30 minutes, plus marinating time

Ingredients

1 medium pineapple
3 limes, zested and juiced
10 g mint
300 g mango, chopped and frozen
20 g coconut flakes , toasted

Method

1. Peel the pineapple, removing all the spines. Slice into paper-thin rounds.

2. Place the pineapple flat in a large Ziploc bag and pour over the juice and zest of 2 limes. Seal the bag. This will infuse the pineapple with lime and allow for maximum flavour. Chill for a few hours.
