Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Pineapple
- 1 large (diced) Mango
- 1 medium (diced) Papaya
- 2 large (sliced) Banana
- 2 medium (peeled and sliced) Kiwi
- 0.5 cup Orange juice

Instructions
Prepare all the fruits by washing, peeling, and dicing/slicing them as needed.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, mango, papaya, banana, and kiwi.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, chopped mint leaves, and, if desired, dark rum and honey. This will be the dressing for the salad.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the fruits are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes over the salad and lightly mix them in for a tropical crunch.
Garnish with additional mint leaves and serve chilled.
