Ingredients

1 papaya or mango
1 cup strawberries
2 kiwis
1 banana
2 navel oranges
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier, optional
3 to 5 sprigs fresh mint
1 cup raspberries or blueberries

Directions

Peel and dice the mango or papaya, and put in a medium bowl. Trim the strawberries' stems and half or quarter, if large. Add to the bowl of fruit. Peel and dice the kiwi, add to bowl. Peel and slice the bananas, add to bowl.

Cut the top and bottom off the oranges just deep enough to expose the inner fruit. Following the curve of the fruit cut the skin and pith off the orange in panels. Holding the orange over the bowl cut between the membranes to free the citrus segments. Let them fall into the bowl as they are cut free. By hand, squeeze all the juice from the remaining membrane over the fruit, then discard. Repeat with the other orange.

Lightly stir the honey and Grand Marnier, if using, into the fruit. Strip the mint leaves off the stem, tear, or chop into smaller pieces, and stir into the fruit salad. Add the berries and set aside for 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Serve.

The best fruit salad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so delicious! The mint really complements the fruit. I made it last night and my kids are requesting that I make it... again this evening. I left out the Gran Marnier.Read more

lthe most addictive fruit salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this fruit salad. It is so different having fruit salad without any melon. We made it on a beach vacation as a... healthy alternative to the key lime pie we usually buy at the store. My husband even ate it and he is NOT a fan of fruit.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this for my last buncko party...I had cointreau on hand and used that instead, but since my husband was helping me,he... used alot more than one tablespoon! :) decreased the amount of honey to 2 tablespoons (too sweeet with 3)and added a bit of fresh lemon juice,and used fresh mango, strawberries,blueberries, and kiwi, as well as fresh mint from the garden. FANTASTIC!!! and such a pretty presentation...will serve this at all functions from now on!Read more

Great fruit salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Delicious. I didn't bother with the grand marnier because it is too expensive to buy for 1 tablespoon. A great dish for any... get together.Read more

A Tropical Vacation
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The honey and mint added a nice background flavor. Really like the mix of fruits. I like this salad most for its not using... watermellon. Too many fruit salads seem to be mostly watermellon with a few other garnishes.Read more
