I fell in love with mangoes on our trip to Thailand back in 2019. In Ohio it’s rare that I can get them very fresh, but in Thailand? They are ripe, juicy and so, so sweet.
I created this simple mango fruit salad one day when my fridge was loaded with fresh fruits. It would be pretty for spring bridal showers or baby showers.
Yes, it’s just cut fruit, but the textures and flavors of strawberries, mangoes, pineapple, peaches and grapes just work together. Especially when topped with some fresh mint leaves and shredded coconut.
For something extra special, you can make a creamy mango pulp base with heavy cream and condensed milk. This makes the fruit salad a little extra special. It’s delicious either way!
