Exotic fruit
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare the Fruit: Carefully peel, pit, and chop your exotic fruits as directed. (Tip: Peeling rambutans and lychees is easy—simply nick the outer skin with your thumbnail and pop out the juicy, white fruit inside, as shown in ).
- Combine: Gently toss the dragon fruit, lychees/rambutans, figs, kiwis, and guava pieces together in a large glass serving bowl.
- Dress it Up: In a small cup, whisk together the fresh lime juice and raw honey. Pour this light syrup directly over the fruit.
- Garnish & Serve: Toss in the fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and aroma. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving to let the tropical juices meld together beautifully!
