Tropical Papaya, Kiwi & Passionfruit Salad with Lime-Mint Dressing
A vibrant tropical fruit salad of papaya, kiwi, and passionfruit, tossed with a light lime-mint dressing.

This salad is really just a celebration of ripe tropical fruit—papaya, kiwi, passionfruit, and pineapple, all dressed simply with lime juice, a touch of honey, and fresh mint. Passionfruit's tart, seedy pulp scooped straight from the fruit adds the most distinctive note.
Fruit-forward dishes like this one are naturally low in sodium and saturated fat since there's no cooking oil or salt anywhere in the recipe, and papaya and kiwi both bring meaningful fiber and vitamin C to the bowl. A tablespoon of chia seeds, if you add them, contributes a little extra fiber and healthy fat without changing the flavor much. Honey is used sparingly, just enough to round out the lime's tartness.
Chill it for ten minutes before serving so the fruit stays crisp and the flavors have a moment to come together.
