Island Fruit Salad with Lime-Coconut Dressing

When the Pacific fruit season peaks, families gather whatever is ripe — mango, papaya, pineapple, banana — and toss it together for a cooling bowl of sweetness. Every island has a version, and the dressing of lime and coconut is the thread that ties them all together.

The tart lime and silky coconut cream turn simple fruit into something luxurious, while a scatter of toasted coconut adds crunch. Serve it as a light dessert, a breakfast bowl or beside grilled fish for a sweet-savoury contrast.
