What is summer without a cold and refreshing Fruit Salad?! This recipe is made with three main ingredients and a twist that takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness. Take this summery recipe with you for a picnic, party or BBQ and your loved ones will be more than pleased.

What makes this fruit salad exceptional?

The answer is simple- Pineapple Peel Dressing.

Pineapples are sweet, refreshing, tangy with a slight tart to them. I use all of it in this recipe including the peel. The flesh is cut into one inch cubes while the outer skin and core is submerged in water and cooked on high heat. Sugar is later on added to the pineapple peel juice, after which it is left to chill and then poured over the diced fruits.

Choice of fruits:

I normally stick to watermelon, hard but ripe mangoes and pineapple. You can use any fruit of choice but be sure to add pineapple.

I will not recommend fruits like peaches and nectarines. They get very slippery and loose their color quickly.
