Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup diced mango, 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1 cup peeled and sliced kiwi, and 1 cup diced papaya gently to avoid breaking the fruit.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup coconut milk, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 3: Pour the coconut-lime dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
