Bright, juicy, and almost too pretty to eat, this fruit salad brings together ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and strawberries in a zingy lime-ginger-honey dressing that tastes like a tropical vacation in a bowl. The real showstopper is the presentation — hollowed lime halves serve as natural little cups, making this as fun to look at as it is to devour. Because every single ingredient here is a whole, fresh food, there's zero need to scan labels for hidden additives or worry about cross-contact from processed condiments or sauces. The dressing comes together in seconds with just lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, and honey, and that short rest time lets everything meld into something genuinely special. A scatter of torn fresh mint over the top adds a cool, fragrant finish that takes the whole thing up a notch. Whether you're serving this at a backyard gathering or just treating yourself on a weeknight, these little cups are guaranteed to disappear fast.

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.
