The inspiration for this fruit salad came to me on a hot summer day when I was craving something refreshing and fruity. I had some fresh dragonfruit and mango on hand, and I decided to experiment with combining them. I started with a simple combination of the two fruits, but I soon realized that it needed something more to brighten up the flavors. I added some lime juice, honey, and a touch of cinnamon and ginger, and the result was a delicious and refreshing fruit salad that was perfect for the summer heat.
