Notes
Depending on the type of fruit you use in the salad, you can prepare part of the salad ahead of time, but don't add the other ingredients until you're about ready to serve the dish. The coconut and pecans will really soak up the juices in the fruit and won't have as much crunch/texture if it sits in the bowl with the chopped fruit for several hours.
