Exotic fruit salad

This super easy, raw exotic fruit salad is not only sweet and delicious but very healthy too! Ideal for a special breakfast - or you can serve it as a healthy dessert with Greek yoghurt or crème fraîche. For a more intense flavour, add some zested lime mixed with a spoonful of coconut cream to the crème fraîche and you get a truly scrumptious pudding! I used 5  different exotic fruits - but you can add or replace them with other fruits such as kiwi, mandarin, banana and so on. If you don't have fresh coconut shavings, use some healthy nuts or seeds instead.
