1 lemon
1/4 cup unsweetened ribbon coconut
1/4 cup pistachios
liquid sweetener of choice (honey, agave, maple syrup)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread out the coconut on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes until toasted. Set aside.
Roughly chop the pistachios and set aside.
Use a sharp knife to slice the the citrus fruits into even-sized slices, about 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch. Trim the peel of the slices and remove any seeds.
Arrange the citrus on a plate, sprinkle on the toasted coconut and pistachios, and drizzle with sweetener.

Notes

Storage

This citrus salad is best served fresh. However, you can prep the citrus a few hours before, or overnight and store it in the fridge. Garnish with the coconut, pistachios, and sweetener just before serving.
