This vibrant Tropical fruit salad is a must try if you’re a lover of fruit salad or any salad muncher. The natural sweetness of the fruits mix with the fresh mint and the ginger is simply delicious in every single bite.

Here I’ve used Rose apple, mango and dragon fruit. You can add any tropical fruit of your choice like pineapple, pear, papaya, lichee, guava, rambutan etc.

The fruits that I’ve used were sweet enough, so I haven’t used any sugar or any sort of sweetener. It’s always best and healthier to enjoy the fruit with its own sweetness. I’ve balanced the sweetness of the fruits by adding a juice of lime. This balanced the sweet and tart taste with the refreshing mint leaves. And the zesty aromatic ginger brought a bit of spicy tingle to the Salad.

• 1 Sweet ripened Mango 
• 5 Rose apple
