Ingredients
- 2 whole Mango (ripe)
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 1 medium Watermelon
- 3 whole Lime
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes or slices.
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, then slice off the skin. Remove the core and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
Slice the watermelon into wedges, remove the rind, and cut the flesh into cubes.
Combine the mango, pineapple, and watermelon in a large mixing bowl.
Zest one of the limes over the fruit mixture, then juice all three limes and drizzle the juice evenly over the fruit.
Sprinkle the chili powder and a pinch of salt over the fruit. Gently toss the fruit to ensure it’s evenly coated with the lime juice and chili powder.
Taste the fruit, and if you prefer additional sweetness, drizzle in the honey and toss again.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish or individual bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled, refreshing treat.
