Fruit salad, Tropical mint dressing

Fruit salad with tropical mint dressing topped with nuts for the crunch. Quick video step by step pictures post.

I saw this fruit salad with tropical mint dressing in a restaurant menu. Thought it would be nice to give it a try, mainly because of the tropical mint dressing. I made the dressing with mangoes and it was creamy and delicious. You can try the same with pineapple, either for making the dressing or instead of cut mangoes in the salad.

It will be very delicious and flavorful with pineapple, to go along with other fruits. Because instead of using both mango dressing and having mangoes in the salad, pineapple will be more suitable. I am sure pineapple juice can blend well in the dressing along with mint and ginger.

Notes

  • If you use mango in salad, you can try pineapple in place of mango in the dressing. Or the other way round for a different flavour.
  • You can prepare the dressing ahead and store upto 2 days. I used the dressing twice, so it can be used as two portions as you need it.
  • Do not skimp on mint leaves or ginger as it plays the main flavour here.
