Brazil Nut Free Mango-Lime Fruit Salad Cups
Bright, juicy, and almost too pretty to eat, this tropical fruit salad brings together ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and sweet strawberries in a way that feels like a little celebration in every bite. The dressing — a quick whisk of lime juice, lime zest, honey, and freshly grated ginger — ties everything together with a citrusy kick that keeps the fruit tasting vibrant and alive. Serving it all inside hollowed-out lime shells is a clever move that adds visual drama without any extra effort, and it means zero extra dishes for presentation. A short rest lets the dressing soak into the fruit just enough so the flavors meld beautifully before you serve. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herbal finish that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from the tree nuts that can sneak into store-bought fruit mixes or pre-made dressings, so you can put this together with total confidence. It works as a light dessert, a brunch centerpiece, or an afternoon snack that genuinely earns its place on the table.

4 servings
For the fruit salad
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)

For the cups
- 4 large limes, halved and hollowed to form cups

Instructions
- 1
Halve the 4 large limes crosswise. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the flesh and juice, leaving a clean shell at least 1/4 inch thick. Reserve the scooped lime flesh for another use or discard. Trim a thin slice from the rounded bottom of each cup so they sit flat without tipping.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
