Note

For best flavor, use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for a brighter taste.

You can add a handful of fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for extra texture and aroma.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If the fruit salad is too sweet, add an extra teaspoon of lime juice to balance the flavors.
