“Vibrant Tropical Fruit Salad with Honey-Lime & Chia Dressing” recipe

🧾 Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup mango cubes
  • 1 cup papaya cubes
  • 1 cup kiwi slices
  • 1 cup strawberries, halved
  • 1 banana, sliced (add just before serving)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

For the Honey-Lime & Chia Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit:
    Wash, peel, and cut all the fruits into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the dressing:
    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, lime zest, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes so the chia seeds slightly swell and thicken the dressing.
  3. Combine and toss:
    Pour the honey-lime chia dressing over the fruit. Gently toss everything together to coat the fruit evenly.
  4. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with shredded coconut and fresh mint leaves before serving.

Tip: Add the banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
