- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional, to taste)

- Pour the creamy dressing over the fruit mixture.
- Gently fold everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to blend and salad to chill.

- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.
- Feel free to add other tropical fruits like mango or kiwi.
