Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 2 whole Kiwi
- 1 whole Mango
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, leaving the green leaves intact for presentation.
Using a sharp knife, carefully carve out the flesh of each pineapple half, leaving about 1/2 inch of fruit along the edges to create a sturdy 'boat.'
Dice the extracted pineapple flesh into small bite-sized pieces, discarding the hard core, and set aside.
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and dice them into small pieces.
Peel the kiwis and dice them into small bite-sized pieces.
Peel the mango, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, mango, and blueberries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice to create a light dressing.
Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine.
Spoon the fruit salad into the hollowed-out pineapple boats, dividing it evenly between the two halves.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors!
