Instructions

  1. Wash, peel (if needed), and cut all fruits into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl.

  • Mix in tropical fruits like mango, banana, or papaya for variety.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and stir gently before serving.
  • Cut fruit ahead and add dressing shortly before serving to maintain texture.
