One can never go wrong with Lychee.
It’s just kind of impossible (unless you’re allergic to it…yikes, in which case, may I interest you in some Nutella??)
I was thinking of something fun & simple to take for dessert to a friend’s house & realized my fridge was stocked with fruits I’d barely touched. Better yet, I spotted a bag of lychees I picked up on a whim. These lychees threw me an ultimatum: eat us now or watch us turn into a science experiment.
Inspiration for this recipe came from staring at a Hawaii fridge magnet: how about making a tropical fruit salad?! With Papaya, Mango & precious, sweet Lychee? I’m drooling re-living the memory of it all.
It turned out pretty amazing! And was a big hit at the party, my friends & I wiped our bowls clean, my buddies went right back to the Salad bowl, hunting for more Lychees. I will chalk this up as recipe success!
My only gripe is when I left it in the fridge, the fruit let out a bunch of juice! Which was tasty and all, but the fruit at the bottom looked terribly soggy & were floating like sad, unclaimed baggage at even sadder airport terminal.
I realized this is because I made the cardinal sin of adding dressing AHEAD OF TIME, because I wanted to carry minimal things with me to my friend’s house. Don’t let this happen to you people! Turns out you should always put the dressing on a salad, minutes before you actually eat it. Fruit Salads deserve our unsoggy commitment towards their integrity.
