Ingredients
- 3 cups pineapple cubed or chopped
- 3 cups watermelon cubed or chopped
- 2 cups cantaloupe cubed or chopped
- 2 cups melon cubed or chopped
Fruit Salad Dressing-
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fruit. Using a sharp knife, peel away any skins or rinds, ensuring no tough outer layers remain.
- Remove any seeds or cores as needed, then carefully cut the fruit into evenly sized, bite-sized cubes. (You can use a fruit scooper to have round balls instead.)
- Transfer all the prepared fruit into a large mixing or salad bowl.
- In a separate smaller bowl, combine the honey, lime juice, salt, chili powder, and paprika.
- Pour the dressing over the fruit in the bowl. With a large spoon, carefully toss the fruit until the fruit is well tossed in the dressing. (Be careful not to overmix so that the softer fruit doesn’t break down.)
- Top the salad with additional chili pepper and chopped mint if desired and serve immediately.
