In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, chili oil, salt and pepper. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the watercress, onion and pepper. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the vegetables, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least ½ hour.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut and cook, shaking the pan, until the coconut is lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside to cool.
- Step 3
When ready to serve, toss the salad with the basil and mint. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with the toasted coconut and serve.
