Number Of Ingredients 12

melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew peeled and chopped)
berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries)
citrus fruit (orange and grapefruit supremed)
grapes (black and red whole or sliced in half)
mango (peeled and chopped)
passionfruit (peeled and chopped)
kiwi (sliced and cut into wedges)
pineapple (peeled and chopped)
1 can full fat coconut milk (you can also use coconut cream which is thicker and richer)
juice of 1 lime (if your lime is very dry you might need more)
2 Tbsp poppy seeds
1 Tbsp sugar or honey (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine all the fruit.
  • If you are using coconut milk open the can and carefully drain off 1/4 cup of the clear liquid. Put the remaining coconut milk in a small bowl with the sugar, poppy seeds, and lime juice. Blend well with an immersion blender. You can also use a whisk, but I like the texture you get from blending. Take a taste. You may want to add more lime, or adjust the sweetener.
  • If you are using coconut cream measure out about 2/3 cup and proceed as above.
  • Gently toss the salad with plenty of dressing and serve asap.
