I really like the blend of fruit flavours in this salad! I used half the amount of unsweetened coconut and it was more than enough. I will be enjoying this again for sure. Made for Sun and Spice event. Thanks Rita~! :)

Very good! I made this last night for out Super Bowl party and everyone loved it. I subbed fresh mint leaves for the coconut. I felt it needed a bit of color and the mint worked very well.

I loved this salad. The spices added made this sooooo yummy. My kids however weren't as impressed but they still ate their one helping. I've decieded I will divide this recipe in half next time and omit the cinnamon, cardamom adn ginger on their half. Thank you so much for a more complex flavored fruit salad.

This is a very good salad. It has a very fragrant smell and taste. We used fresh pineapple, bananas, mango, and cantaloupe. We used lemon juice because I forgot to buy limes and we didn't have any cardamom. Made for ZWT4.

Yummy! Not only this could be a healthy desert but it makes an excellent breakfast, brunch or snack. The flavours all combined very nicely together and it was easy to prepare. Thank you ~Rita~ - *Made for Zaar World Tour 4*

I absolutely love this. I left out the cardamom and orange (didn't have any on hand) and it was still amazing. Used Stevia in place of the sugar so it would qualify for the African Dessert Challenge of ZWT4.

I've got this chilling in the fridge right now and came to rate it because it is so good! The spices give it a unique flavor. I added a bit of melon because it needed to be used and it went really well with this. I also used honey in place of the sugar for the ZWT 4. Made by a Jefe de la Cocina!

What a delicious fruit salad!!! The cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and honey (I used honey instead of sugar) made this fruit salad something extra special, and it's such a healthy dessert! My DD's LOVED it and I promised we'd have it again sometime. Thanks Rita! Made for ZWT4 - Los Jefes de la Cocina.

I love fresh fruit and the spices added to this provide for a subtle taste delight. I did reduce to make 2 generous servings, used a fresh peach in place of the mango, and sprinkled with less coconut than called for. This made a delicious fruit side for breakfast this a.m.
