The key here is ripe fruit. Papaya should be VERY ripe. I always say it's not ready to eat until there are some spots starting to go rotten on the skin. LOL. That being said, be very gently when tossing this salad. Sometimes I add some shredded coconut to the mix. Sometimes I sprinkle with some Tajin. Yum!

How To Make fruit salad tropical style

  • Step 1
    In a glass bowl, combine the fruit. Add the sugar. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust sugar if needed. Remember you're adding lime juice in the next step.
  • Step 2
    Zest the two limes over the fruit in the bowl. Juice the limes and add to the bowl. Very gently toss again, so you don't break up the ripe fruit. Serve.
