Bursting with the colors and flavors of mango, papaya, kiwi, and pineapple, and kissed with a citrusy dressing, it promises to transport you and your family to a serene island getaway. Perfect for family gatherings or a refreshing side dish on a lazy summer day, this salad is as nurturing as it is delightfully simple to prepare.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 1 ripe papaya, peeled and diced
• 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large glass bowl, combine the diced mango, papaya, kiwi, and pineapple.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, and honey until well blended.
3. Pour the citrus dressing over the fruit and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the fruit is nicely coated.
4. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
5. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving for maximum freshness.

Helpful Tips:

• If you can’t find fresh fruits, frozen alternatives can work as well. Just thaw them completely before use.
• For a creamier texture, add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing.

Storage Instructions:

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the fruits can become mushy over time.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• If you’re out of honey, agave syrup or maple syrup can be great alternatives.
• Feel free to mix in other tropical fruits like bananas, starfruit, or dragon fruit!

Pairings:

• This Tropical Fruit Salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, offering a refreshing contrast.
• Complement it with an iced herbal tea or a refreshing coconut water drink for a complete tropical vibe.
