This salad features a variety of fruits, each offering its unique flavor and texture.

Our recipe offers two variations to cater to different preferences. The first variation features a classic combination of fruits, nuts, and dressing, while the second variation adds a touch of tropical flair with the inclusion of pineapple, mango, and coconut.
