TROPICAL FRUIT SALAD WITH PASSION FRUIT LIME DRESSING

Ingredients

  • One small fresh pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 lb strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 3 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced into half moons
  • 2 mangoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 dragonfruit, peeled and sliced (I used a melon baller)
  • 10 to 15 rambutan, shelled and cut in half
  • 1 small papaya, peeled and cubed
  • 1/3 cup mint, minced or julienned
  • Optional: fresh coconut flakes

Passion Fruit Lime Sauce

  • 1 (11.5 oz) can of passion fruit juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 7 drops doTERRA lime essential oil
  • Zest from limes

Instructions

  • Placed prepared and cut fruit into a large serving bowl. To start out add about 1/3 cup of the passion fruit lime sauce and gently toss. Slowly incorporate a few more tablespoons until you get the desired flavor. You don't want to overpower the fruit! Sprinkle with mint and coconut flakes and gently give another toss. Easy! Serve immediately (see Recipe Notes)

Passion Fruit Lime Dressing

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the lilikoi juice, lime juice and sugar to a boil. Turn the heat to low and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is clear, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Once done, take the simple syrup off the heat and stir in the drops of lime essential oil and the lime zest. (see Recipe Notes) Let the sauce cool completely.

Notes

  • This recipe is so versatile, make sure you add whatever fruit floats your boat or add something new like star fruit!
  • Most of the fruits and the passion fruit juice can be easily found in any local Asian market.
  • If you are not going to serve this immediately maybe cut up fruits, cover and stick in the fruit. Add the sauce just before you plan on serving or driving it to the BBQ. Just so it stays looking pretty and fresh!
  • The lime zest needs to be added after the lime juice. So try and zest the limes into a small bowl before you cut them up and juice them. Just makes it easier to get the zest later!
