Try it on a warm summer night served with jerk-spiced tempeh cooked

Cook the pasta in a pot of boiling salted water, stirring
occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under
cold running water, and place in a large bowl. Add the pineapple,
mango, orange, bell pepper, celery, scallions, and mint and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, orange juice, lime juice
and zest, sugar, allspice, cayenne, and salt to taste. Mix well. Pour
the dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange the salad greens on 4 individual plates. Divide the pasta
salad among the plates, sprinkle with the toasted coconut, and serve.
