Ingredients
- 2 cups (285 g) watermelon ¾-inch dice
- 2 (340 g) dragon fruit (pitaya) ¾-inch dice, about 2 cups
- 1 (202 g) papaya ¾-inch dice, about 1 ½ cups
- 1 (237 g) mango ¾-inch dice, about 1 ½ cups
- 1 cup (158 g) pineapple wedges, ½-inch thick

- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (1 g) lime zest
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lime juice
- ¼ cup (20 g) coconut chips or shreds (optional) for garnish
- 1 tablespoon (1 g) thinly sliced mint
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add watermelon, dragon fruit, papaya, mango, pineapple, kiwi, and banana. If using red fleshed-dragon fruit, wait to add on top after mixing to prevent staining the other pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime zest, and lime juice.
- Drizzle the dressing mixture over the fruit. Gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
- Optional: Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the coconut, shake and toast until lightly browned, about 2 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Right before serving, garnish the salad with some toasted coconut and mint.
