Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Wash and dry lemon, lime and 2 mandarin oranges. Zest the washed and dried citrus with a zester or fine grater. Add to 1 cup measuring cup or small bowl. Cut each in half and squeeze the juice into the measuring cup. (You should get about 1/2 cup juice). Add honey, ginger and poppy seeds to juice mixture and whisk until combined. Set aside or place in the refrigerator if serving later. Prepare remaining fruit. Slice strawberries and kiwi. Section remaining oranges. Cut pineapple and mango into bite size chunks. Place fruit in a large bowl. Pour dressing on top of fruit about 30 minutes before serving. Gently toss to coat. Serve and enjoy! Cook's note: This fruit salad is fabulous with whatever you have on hand. I love carambola (star fruit) and papaya in this salad as well. Bananas are lovely, but have to be added at the last minute or they will get soft and not look pretty.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh fruits: The quality of your fruit salad depends on the quality of your fruits. Choose fruits that are ripe and in season for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. Try to include a mix of sweet, sour, and tart fruits for a well-balanced flavor.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to meld together.
- Add some sweetness: If your fruits are not very sweet, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste. You can also add naturally sweet fruits like bananas, grapes, or mangoes.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity can help to brighten up the flavors of the fruit salad. You can add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or use tart fruits like berries or grapefruit.
- Add some crunch: Adding some crunchy elements like nuts, seeds, or granola can add texture and interest to your fruit salad.
- Chill the fruit salad before serving: This will help to keep the fruit salad fresh and refreshing, especially on a hot day.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can create a tropical fruit salad that is both delicious and refreshing. It's a great way to enjoy fresh fruits and a healthy snack or dessert. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing treat, give tropical fruit salad a try!
