The kids and I love fruit salad. With summer fast approaching, I decided to make a tropical fruit salad. By making homemade tropical fruit salad I can let them try new fruits without too much worrying about the new to them fruits not being eaten. I used a mixture of tropical fruits I know the kids like and new fruits they had not tried yet.

My tropical fruit salad had pineapple chunks, clementines, mango, bananas, kiwi, pomegranate seeds, and unsweetened coconut flakes.

While my fruit salad is perfect for brunches or afternoon teas it would also be fantastic at wedding and baby showers. I originally made tropical fruit salad for a family potluck lunch, I have since made it as a side for dinner and afternoon snacks. Fruit salad makes a great side for my basic oven roasted chicken. The kids just can not seem to get enough of it!

Have you ever made tropical fruit salad? How do you make it?

Have a great day!
