A refreshing and easy-to-make fruit salad featuring a honey lime dressing and toasted coconut, perfect for summer brunches and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh is best for sweetness and texture)
  • 1 cup ripe mango, diced
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced (optional)
  • 3 tbsp honey (raw or local preferred)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted until golden brown)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh fruit under cold water. Peel and dice the pineapple and mango into roughly 1-inch chunks. Hull and halve the strawberries, slice the kiwi if using, and halve the grapes. Place all fruit in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Warm honey slightly if stiff.
  3. Heat a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded coconut and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Pour the honey lime dressing over the fruit bowl. Gently toss with a large spoon or salad tongs to coat all the fruit evenly without bruising.
  5. Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top of the salad. Add fresh mint leaves if desired.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to let flavors marry. Keep toasted coconut separate until serving if preparing ahead.

Notes

Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning; remove from heat just before fully browned as it will finish cooking off heat. Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushiness. Warm honey slightly if stiff for easier mixing. Toss salad gently to avoid bruising fruit. Keep toasted coconut separate until serving if preparing ahead to maintain crunch.
