fruit salad tropical style

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!
