Ingredients
- 1 cup, cubed Pineapple
- 1 cup, cubed Mango
- 2 medium, peeled and sliced Kiwi
- 1 medium, sliced Banana
- 1/2 cup, cubed Papaya
- 2 tablespoons, fresh Lime Juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- optional fresh, for garnish Mint leaves
Prepare the Fruits
Begin by washing all fruits thoroughly. Peel and cube the pineapple, mango, and papaya. Peel and slice the kiwi and banana. The size of the fruit pieces should be relatively uniform for an appealing presentation.
Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until well combined. The lime juice adds a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the honey and the fruits.
Combine and Toss
In a large bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits. Pour the lime-honey dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss to coat the fruits evenly with the dressing. Be careful not to over-mix to prevent the fruits from becoming mushy.
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This also helps the fruit to stay fresh and crisp. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
