Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1 cup mango, diced

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup blueberries

1 small banana, sliced

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped (for garnish)

For the Coconut Lime Dressing:

1/2 cup coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

Juice and zest of 1 lime

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: Begin by washing all the fruits thoroughly. Dice the pineapple and mango into bite-sized pieces, slice the kiwi, halve the strawberries, and slice the banana. Place all the prepared fruits into a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime flavor as desired.

      Combine: Pour the coconut lime dressing over the mixed fruit in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together, ensuring that the dressing lightly coats all the fruit pieces without mashing them.

        Add Coconut: Gently fold in the shredded coconut to incorporate it into the salad, adding a delightful crunch and tropical flavor.

          Garnish: Transfer the tropical fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual cups. Finish by sprinkling the chopped mint leaves on top for a refreshing touch.

            Serve: Enjoy this tropical delight fresh and chilled. If making ahead, keep the components separate until ready to serve to maintain the freshness of the fruits.
