Instructions

Cook wild rice and brown rice according to package instructions.
Allow to cool.
In a large bowl, combine wild rice, brown rice, onion, kiwi, mango, tomato halves and coriander.
Reserve.
In a small bowl, blend olive oil, fruit juice, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, and hot pepper flakes.
Pour vinaigrette over rice salad and combine.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Sprinkle salad with toasted coconut at serving time and serve as a side dish to grilled meats. *
You'll find large pre-toasted coconut flakes at your supermarket.
If you can't find any, use unsweetened grated coconut, and toast it yourself.
To do so, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add coconut and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and lightly toasted.
