Enjoy this 3-part recipe short video series here and on YouTube! A little fun in the kitchen with my Bikini Chef® coat, my favorite pineapple workout shirt, and… the Couture Aprons costume change into this super fun TIKI APRON.

Tropical Fruit Salad with Melissa's Produce

I recently visited my friends at Melissa’s Produce for the summer “glow-down” on fruits of the season. Wow, talk about delicious and informative. Did you know that unseasonably warm winters make for larger, juicier, sweeter fruits? Yup, heat plus fruit equals sweetness. And juice! Thanks, Melissa’s Produce!

Tropical Fruit Salad is a beautifully delicious combo of dragon fruit, pink pineapple, moscato grapes, coconut, and white wine vinaigrette with fresh fruits from Melissa’s Produce

Super Fun Ingredient Options:

  • Diced fresh jalapeno peppers

  • Fresh mint leaves – always a Bikini Chef® favorite

  • Toss in a few tangerine slices!

  • KIWI!!! Kiwi is always a great idea

To say that this recipe is packed with nutrients is an understatement. Vitamin C, lycopene, Vitamin K, tons of dietary fiber – the tasty kind, beta-carotene, healthy fats, and guess what else??? Tons of natural water content! Eat your water this summer.
Tropical Fruits for salad
Serve this super gorgeous summer salad in a cute, stylish dish for maximum appeal. I chose a decorative martini glass. Cheers!

Pink Lemonade Bikini Cocktails

Summer Cocktail Idea:

  • Use some of the juices from the tropical fruit and swirl it into a refreshing cocktail!

  • Libation options:

    • Gin

    • Vodka

    • Rum

    • Or, even add some bubbles… Champagne, of course!

  • Take a cucumber slice, a slice of pineapple, and a strawberry or other fruit in the salad recipe; throw it on a toothpick

  • It’s a two-martini glass day! One for the Fruit Salad and one for the Bikini Cocktail
