A vibrant and refreshing tropical fruit salad featuring pineapple, mango, banana, kiwi, oranges, and strawberries, topped with a honey-lime dressing. Perfect for brunch, picnics, or as a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 2 bananas, sliced into rounds
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut the pineapple into chunks, removing the tough outer skin and core.
  2. Peel and dice the mango into cubes by slicing off the cheeks, scoring them in a grid pattern, and scooping out the flesh with a spoon.
  3. Slice the bananas and kiwi into rounds, and segment the oranges.
  4. Hull the strawberries and cut them into thin slices or quarters for a chunkier texture.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey (or maple syrup) and fresh lime juice until smooth. Adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
  6. Place all prepared fruits into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruits and gently toss to coat.
  7. If using fresh mint, roughly chop the leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
  8. Serve immediately or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

[‘Choose ripe fruits for the best flavor.’, ‘Cut fruits into similar-sized pieces for uniformity.’, ‘Add softer fruits like bananas and kiwi last when tossing to avoid mashing.’, ‘Chill the salad for 20-30 minutes to enhance flavor.’, ‘Experiment with different fruits and toppings like shredded coconut or nuts.’]
