Tropical Fruit Salad

Who doesn’t love fruit? My family really loves fruit salads. This Tropical Fruit Salad is a great addition to your meal as dessert or it can be a perfect snack any time of the year especially during hot summer days.

I bought all the fruit from the grocery store the except strawberries, which are from my garden. They add a fresh aroma to this salad. The dressing is a perfect combination for this salad. It tastes so good that my kids drink it as a juice.

You can prepare this salad ahead of time, just store each fruit separately in a bowl covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 24 hrs. It just takes five minutes to make dressing and deliciousness is ready. 🙂

Ingredients for the salad:

1 – Pineapple
12 – mandarins
5 – kiwis
3 – mangos
2 – cups strawberries cut

    You eat with your eyes, and this is a real treat. A visual feast. It tastes great too. The clover honey adds a really interesting background flavour. Thanks for the recipe.

    I make a fruit salad that everyone raves over, I use some of the same things but I keep a jar of instant french vanilla pudding on hand. I use a teaspoon in homemade whipped cream to stabilize it a bit and I use a few teaspoons plus the seeds of a vanilla bean to make the dressing thick, creamy and luxurious.
