Recipe Tips

To make this recipe even more refreshing, you can serve the fruit salad in a chilled pineapple boat. To do this, cut a pineapple in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Fill each half with the fruit salad and serve. This will not only look stunning, but it will also add an extra layer of sweetness to the dish. Another tip is to add a sprinkle of toasted coconut or chopped nuts to the top of the fruit salad. This will add some crunch and texture to the dish. You can also serve this with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
