Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole fresh pineapple
- 3 whole navel oranges
- 10 leaves mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing the pineapple: Cut off the top and bottom, then carefully slice away the skin. Remove any remaining 'eyes' with a small knife. Cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the navel oranges, removing all the white pith, and cut them into segments or round slices. Add the segments to the mixing bowl with the pineapple.
Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit in the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
If desired, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Serve immediately or chill for 20-30 minutes before serving for a cooler, more refreshing taste.
