Tropical Fruit Salad
This Tropical Fruit Salad is a juicy fusion of vibrant, sun-ripened flavors straight from the tropics—no apples or berries here, just pure exotic goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 mango
- 1 avocado
- 1 banana
- 1 dragon fruit
- 1 orange
- mint
For the Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon honey (NOTE 1)
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cut all the fruits into similar sized cubes or slices and transfer them to a bowl. You can cut them bite-size or even smaller. (NOTE 2)
- Transfer all ingredients for the lemon poppy seed vinaigrette into a bowl. Use a submersion mixer to create a smooth and creamy emulsification of the oil and lemon juice mix.
- Pour vinaigrette over the fruit salad and mix gently, making sure that all fruit pieces are covered with the vinaigrette, but maintain their shape. This way you’ll have the best appearance of the fruit.
- Sprinkle with torn or coarsely chopped fresh mint.
Notes
- Replace honey with agave nectar or maple syrup and your salad is vegan.
- Bite-size pieces (e.g. a slice of banana, or half a section of orange, mango in cubes etc.) give you the option to really taste the individual fruits. You can also cut them in smaller pieces, creating a true representation of the variety of fruits in the salad, as you scoop all different fruits in one bite.
