1. Toast coconut. Heat a nonstick skillet to medium, add coconut, and stir gently until lightly browned and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes. (It takes a while for coconut to start to brown, but once it begins, it browns quickly, so you need to keep an eye on it.) Set aside.
2. In large salad bowl, toss together spinach, pepper, chickpeas, and pineapple.
3. Mix curry powder into vinaigrette.
4. Toss salad with dressing. Add cashews, and toss again. Top with toasted coconut. Serve immediately.
