Notes
- The key to an amazing fruit salad is using ripe fruit. A ripe papaya should give slightly when pressed and have a sweet aroma. Star fruit should be firm but yellow with slightly brown edges. For strawberries, look for bright red berries without white or green patches.
- Fresh mint makes a huge difference compared to dried.
- If you can’t find star fruit substitute kiwi or mango
