Breastfeeding Friendly Mango-Lime Fruit Salad Cups
Bright, juicy, and bursting with tropical flavor, this fruit salad is the kind of dish that feels like a treat while quietly doing a lot of good. Ripe mango and fresh pineapple bring natural sweetness and a generous dose of vitamin C, while strawberries add a pop of color and antioxidants — all nutrients that matter when your body is working hard to nourish a little one. The honey-lime-ginger dressing ties everything together with a gentle zing that makes the fruit taste even more vibrant than it already is. Serving it all in hollowed lime cups is a charming touch that requires zero special equipment, just a small spoon and a steady hand. Fresh mint scattered on top adds an herby brightness that makes the whole thing feel a little fancy without any extra effort. It's the kind of recipe you can throw together quickly, which is exactly what you need when free time is hard to come by.

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)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tbsp honey
For the cups
- 4 large limes, halved and hollowed to form cups
For serving

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.

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.
