Tropical Fruit Salad

The best fruit salad I've ever tasted!

 "I had a surprise birthday party for my husband and had a beach/tropical theme. This salad was a hit. The combinations of tropical fruits had a wonderful flavor and was different then the normal fruit salads I always had served. If I can find the fruit in season I will make this fruit salad more often.

    Very tasty fruit salad. I used honeydew mellon instead of pinapple. Four Yum-stars!

    Wonderful! I used splenda instead of sugar and added an extra kiwi and half an orange. I sustituted OJ for tequila. This served seven people and I had four children asking for more!

    This recipe is nothing short of astounding! The Tequila and lime juice are the perfect accompaniment to the tropical fruits. I've made this fruit salad twice so far, the second time substituting brown sugar for the white. Both were seriously delicious!

    This recipe is unbelievable! I brought it to a fourth of July party and it was gone in a flash!
