A tropical fruit salad

5 June, 2022

 

 

 

Ingredients
2 fresh ripe mangoes
2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks
1 banana, sliced
1 to 2 cups cubed fresh papaya
2 fresh kiwi fruit, cubed
1 dragon fruit, or 1 pear, cubed
2 cups fresh red seedless grapes, halved
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 to 4 tablespoons white granulated sugar, to taste 
 

 

Method

 

Slice all the fruit - except the contrasting red fruit (strawberries, or dried cranberries) - and place in a mixing bowl.

Drizzle over the lime juice and gently stir to combine. Then sprinkle over the sugar (add it to taste depending on the sweetness and ripeness of the fruit), stirring to combine. Set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until you plan on serving your salad.

Serving tips

Before serving, pour the coconut milk and stir once again. Taste test the salad for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. If too sweet for your taste, squeeze some more lime juice. Portion into bowls and top with some of the red contrasting fruit - strawberries or dried cranberries.

It’s also easy and delicious made ahead of time, as the fruit needs time to absorb the sugar and lime juice, making it taste even better (you can make it up to 8 hours in advance, then place covered in the refrigerator).

Just hold off adding the coconut milk until guests arrive, then pour it over and give another gentle stir and taste-test.

Also delicious topped with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
