Gut Friendly Mango-Lime Fruit Salad Cups

Bright, juicy, and bursting with tropical flavor, this fruit salad is a genuinely cheerful dish that feels as good as it tastes. Ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and strawberries are tossed in a zingy dressing of lime juice, lime zest, raw honey, and freshly grated ginger — every single ingredient pulling double duty on both flavor and digestive friendliness. Ginger in particular has long been celebrated for its soothing, gut-supportive qualities, and here it weaves seamlessly into the dressing rather than overpowering the fruit. The short rest period after tossing lets the natural juices meld with the dressing, so each bite is deeply flavored without any added sugars or artificial ingredients to worry about. Serving everything in hollowed lime cups is a clever, zero-waste move that also delivers a little extra citrus aroma with every spoonful. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cooling finish that makes the whole thing feel like something you'd order at a nice brunch spot. It's light, refreshing, and genuinely easy to pull together whenever you want something that's as nourishing as it is beautiful.

Ingredients

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

2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)

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.
