- Pour in the coconut milk and simmer slowly for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season with a little salt and add the lime juice. Set aside to cool.
- Stir in the coconut flakes, lime zest and coriander into the cooled rice.
- To assemble the jars in layers, spoon some dressing into each jar first, then add the flaked salmon.
- Followed by some coconut lime rice, then baby spinach leaves and rocket leaves, followed by the kidney beans and the sweetcorn and finish by adding the tomato halves on top.
