Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 ripe papaya, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Directions
Prepare the mango by slicing off the sides along the flat pit, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, removing the skin as you work.
Prepare the papaya by cutting it in half lengthwise, scoop out the black seeds with a spoon, then peel away the thin skin and cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes.
Place the mango and papaya cubes in a large bowl and gently toss together.
Drizzle the honey over the fruit and sprinkle with the fresh chopped mint.
Gently fold everything together until the honey is evenly distributed and the mint is incorporated throughout the salad.
Serve immediately, or chill until ready to enjoy.
Comments
Mango and papaya are reliably available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Walmart year-round, though quality and price swing seasonally; mint grows easily in Charlotte gardens or appears fresh at any of those chains for under $2. At roughly $0.80 to $1.20 per serving depending on fruit ripeness and honey quality, this is genuinely cheap and comes together in the stated ten minutes with zero technique. The real fit is as a side or light dessert for a family that wants something bright and low-effort, though it does not hold well beyond a few hours—the fruit releases juice and softens, so plan to serve it same-night or as breakfast the next morning.
