Tropical fruit salad

A refreshing healthy dessert.

Cooking directions

• Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the stones. Cut into pieces (similar in size to canned peaches).
• Using a sharp knife remove the skin from the pineapple. Remove the core and chop the flesh into small pieces.
• Peel the bananas and kiwifruit and chop into bite-sized pieces.
• Rinse the strawberries and cut in half.
• Combine all the fruit in a large bowl.
• Add the fruit juice and coconut cream.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with mint.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
• Serve on its own or with yoghurt.

Try:

• Using a tin of peaches in natural juice instead of mangoes.
• Tinned mangoes instead of fresh.
• Using any fresh or tinned fruit you have available – invent your own favourite combination.
