Although this easy fruit salad is influenced by a Thai recipe (deconstructed for ease), I am not sure if it could be classified as one. Missing the fresh chilli and chopped peanuts for something with less kick & crunch. I’ve also made this including fresh strawberries & they do add a nice sweetness to the overall salad or relish?
