Tropical Papaya Passionfruit Salad

This tropical fruit salad is a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy the bounty of summer produce. The papaya and passionfruit provide a sweet and tart base, while the mango, pineapple, red onion, and cilantro add brightness and complexity. The lime juice and olive oil help to balance the flavors and create a cohesive dish.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to the farmers market, where I was overwhelmed by the variety of tropical fruits on offer. I wanted to create a dish that would showcase the natural flavors of these fruits, without overpowering them with sugar or other sweeteners. After some experimentation, I settled on this recipe, which uses a simple combination of fresh fruit, lime juice, and olive oil to create a refreshing and flavorful salad. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
