Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the drained pineapple chunks, cubed watermelon, mango, and sliced green apple. Ensure the fruit is evenly distributed. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

In a blender, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and finely chopped jalapeño. Blend until smooth, creating a vibrant and flavorful dressing. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the jalapeño dressing over the prepared fruit mixture. Gently toss to ensure all the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing. Sprinkle the chili-lime seasoning on top, distributing it evenly for a balanced flavor profile. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours, or even longer for the flavors to meld and deepen. The chilling process enhances the overall taste experience of the salad. (Chill time: 120 minutes)

For a milder spice level, use half a jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes completely before chopping.
Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
Feel free to add other fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi for added variety and color.
This salad is best served chilled. It can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pineapple and mango before adding them to the salad.
