Notes

  • 🥭 Use Ripe, Firm Mangoes: Choose mangoes that are sweet and juicy but firm enough to hold their shape when diced.
  • 🍓 Use Fresh Fruit: Fresh strawberries, raspberries, kiwi and pineapple give the salad its best colour, flavour and texture.
  • 🍋 Balance The Sweetness: Add lemon or lime juice gradually to brighten the fruit without making the salad too tart.
  • 🍯 Sweeten Only If Needed: The fruit is naturally sweet, so use honey sparingly or leave it out if the fruit is sufficiently ripe.
  • 🥄 Fold Gently: Carefully fold the ingredients together to prevent the raspberries and softer fruit from breaking apart.
  • ❄️ Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving for a refreshing finish.
  • 🌿 Add Mint At The End: Fresh mint adds a cooling, fragrant touch and keeps its vibrant flavour when added just before serving.
  • 🕒 Serve Fresh: For the best texture and appearance, enjoy the salad within 1–2 days and keep leftovers refrigerated.
