Brazilian fruit salad consists of a fresh fruit cocktail made with chunks of tropical fruits mixed with orange and lime juices, spices, and a sweetener.

The heat here in Texas is already announcing that summer is about to arrive. This Brazilian fruit salad made with a mixture of fruits is the ideal healthy treat to refresh both body and soul.

A bowl of fruit salad

On a hot day like today, there is nothing better than eating something light and refreshing, right?

Here’s my idea: how about a chilled tropical Brazilian fruit salad?!!!

In Brazil, our traditional fruit salad is a combination of papaya, pineapple, and bananas tossed with a mixture of fresh orange juice, cinnamon, and sugar or honey.

I also include mango, watermelon, fresh lemon juice, and nutmeg in mine.

This fruit salad can be eaten for breakfast (plain or with yogurt and granola), at snack time, or as a dessert (plain, or topped with ice cream or a hint of heavy cream).

I am telling you: either served alone or with whatever topping of your choice, this salad is heavenly!

Now please excuse me because I cannot wait any longer to devour one of my favorite fresh treats.

Keep yourself cool and enjoy our Brazilian fruit salad!!
