Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced

1 cup ripe mango, finely diced

1 cup kiwi, peeled and finely diced

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup bananas, sliced into rounds

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds (for garnish)

For the Coconut Lime Dressing:

1/2 cup creamy coconut cream

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your preferred level of sweetness)

Zest of 1 lime

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tropical Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, kiwi, strawberries, and banana. Using a spatula, gently toss the fruit together to mix without mashing the ingredients.

    Make the Coconut Lime Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the creamy coconut cream, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey or maple syrup, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

      Combine and Chill: Pour the coconut lime dressing over the fruit mixture. Carefully fold the dressing into the fruit using a spatula, ensuring every piece of fruit is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

        Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing. Transfer the mixture to a serving platter or scoop it into individual bowls. Finish by sprinkling shredded coconut and vibrant pomegranate seeds on top to enhance both texture and visual appeal.

          Enjoy: Indulge in this refreshing, colorful tropical fruit salad that embodies the joyful spirit of summer!
