Ingredients
- 2 cups diced pineapple
- 2 cups diced mango
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 2 cups diced pineapple, 2 cups diced mango, 2 cups sliced strawberries, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 2 tablespoons honey (if desired).
- Prepare your fruits by washing them thoroughly. For the strawberries, remove the green tops and slice them into thin pieces. For the pineapple, peel, core, and dice it into bite-sized cubes. For the mango, peel and dice it, making sure to remove the pit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced mango, and sliced strawberries. Gently toss the fruits together to mix them evenly.
- Add the shredded coconut to the bowl with the mixed fruits. This will add a delightful texture and flavor to your salad.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice and honey (if using). Stir until the honey is fully dissolved in the lime juice.
- Drizzle the lime juice and honey mixture over the fruit and coconut mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together to ensure the fruits are well-coated with the dressing.
- Once everything is mixed, taste the salad. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more honey to your liking.
- Transfer the Coco Chop Fruit Salad to a serving bowl or individual cups for a beautiful presentation.
- For best flavor, serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Enjoy your refreshing Coco Chop Fruit Salad as a healthy snack, a side dish, or a light dessert!
Tips
- Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the most intense flavors and maximum sweetness.
- Chill your ingredients beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
- For a gourmet touch, toast the coconut flakes lightly before adding them to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for the brightest, most authentic taste.
- If serving at a party, prepare the fruits separately and combine just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.
- For a protein boost, consider adding some chopped nuts or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
- The salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation to maintain optimal texture and flavor.
