Pregnancy 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 nutritional heavy lifting. Ripe mango and fresh pineapple bring natural sweetness and a solid dose of vitamin C, while strawberries add folate — a nutrient that matters enormously during pregnancy. The dressing is nothing more than fresh lime juice, zest, honey, and grated ginger, so there's no mystery about what's going into your body. Ginger is a longtime go-to for easing nausea, making this one of those recipes that's as practical as it is delicious. Serving everything in hollowed lime cups is a charming touch that makes it feel special enough for a baby shower spread or a weekend brunch without any extra effort. Everything here is whole, fresh, and straightforward — no deli meats, no soft cheeses, no ingredients that require second-guessing. Just clean, vibrant fruit you can feel genuinely good about eating.

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.

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.
