Bright, juicy, and almost too pretty to eat, this tropical fruit salad brings together ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and sweet strawberries in a way that feels like a vacation in every bite. The dressing is a simple whisked blend of lime juice, lime zest, honey, and freshly grated ginger — no complicated steps, just bold, clean flavor that ties everything together beautifully. Serving the salad in hollowed-out lime halves is a clever little trick that doubles as both a vessel and a garnish, making it a showstopper at any table without any extra effort. A short rest lets the fruit soak up the dressing so the flavors really meld before you serve. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby finish that plays perfectly against the citrus and tropical sweetness. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just gorgeous, wholesome fruit doing all the work.

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.
