Seed Oil 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 strawberries in a zingy lime-ginger-honey dressing that tastes like pure sunshine. The whole thing gets served in hollowed-out lime halves, which means zero extra dishes and a presentation that genuinely impresses people. Every single ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like — fresh fruit, citrus, honey, and ginger — so there's no need to squint at a label wondering what's hiding in the dressing. Seed oils have a way of sneaking into bottled dressings and store-bought fruit cups, but this one is made entirely from scratch with nothing but whole, clean ingredients. A quick ten-minute rest lets the juices meld into something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top right before serving adds a cool, fragrant finish that ties everything together beautifully.

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.
