Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cantaloupe (peeled and de-seeded quantity/weight)
  • ¾ cup papaya (peeled and de-seeded quantity/weight)
  • ¾ cup pineapple (peeled quantity/weight - one thick slice)
  • ½ mango approx
  • ½ orange
  • 1 banana

For dressing

  • 2 tablespoon passion fruit pulp (2tbsp is approx 1 - 2 fruit, depending on size)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  • Remove seeds and skin from cantaloupe and papaya. Remove the core and skin from the pineapple, taking out any spiney "eyes". Cut half the mango from the stone and peel. Peel the orange, removing any white pith left on the flesh. (Leave the banana for later to avoid it browning).
  • Cut all of the fruit into roughly even, bite-sized pieces. If you have any tougher-looking edges on any of the fruit, where you might not have peeled them quite enough, then remove these as they won't be as sweet or tasty.
  • Put the passion fruit, lime juice and honey in a small jar, cover with lid and shake them together to mix and break up the passion fruit pulp. Open and stir in any honey that didn't dissolve.
  • Peel and slice the banana and add to the other fruit. Pour over the passion fruit dressing, mix gently and serve.

Notes

Make sure all of the fruits are ripe but not overly ripe - this means they'll have a good flavor but not fall apart and become mushy.
