Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- juice of 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Fruit Salad
- 1 cup chopped pineapple
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 2–3 kiwis, peeled and sliced (about 1 cup)
- 2 clementines, peeled and segmented
- 1 mango, peeled and diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut, plus additional for topping
Instructions
- Make Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, and cinnamon. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the ingredients are evenly mixed to create a flavorful dressing.
- Mix Fruits: Add the chopped pineapple, sliced strawberries, sliced kiwis, clementine segments, diced mango, sliced banana, and shredded sweetened coconut to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly without bruising or mashing it.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the tropical fruit salad immediately for the freshest taste; alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Optionally, garnish with extra shredded coconut on top for an added tropical touch and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe and fresh fruits for the best flavor and sweetness.
- To prevent the banana from browning, add it just before serving if refrigerating the salad.
- The salad is best consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey according to taste and fruit sweetness.
