Tropical Island Medley Recipe


  • Author: Alessia

Ingredients

Before you embark on creating this tropical masterpiece, gather the following fresh ingredients:

  • Mango: 2 ripe, peeled, and diced
  • Papaya: 1 medium, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • Pineapple: 1 small, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Lime Juice: 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
  • Honey: 1 tablespoon (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Mint Leaves: A handful, chopped (for garnish)
  • Coconut Flakes: 1/4 cup, toasted (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Creating this Tropical Island Medley is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to bring a taste of the tropics to your table:

  1. Prepare the Fruits: Start by preparing the fruits. Peel and dice the mangoes, papaya, and pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Ensure that the fruits are ripe to maximize their natural sweetness and flavor.
  2. Mix the Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, papaya, and pineapple. Gently toss them together to ensure an even mix.
  3. Add Lime Juice: Drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the fruit mixture. The lime juice not only enhances the flavors but also helps to preserve the vibrant colors of the fruits.
  4. Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter medley, add a tablespoon of honey. Drizzle it over the fruits and gently toss to combine. This step is optional, as the natural sweetness of the fruits is often sufficient.
  5. Chill the Medley: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the medley to chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together and to serve it refreshingly cold.
  6. Garnish: Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the medley. For an added tropical touch, consider garnishing with toasted coconut flakes.
