This is a gorgeous and delicious salad and just perfect for the fall season. We really enjoyed this. -
Delicious and we will be having variations of this salad often! I wasn't able to get all the fruit listed so I used 1 jicama, 2 mangos, 1 apple, 1 pineapple and 2 kiwies. For the dressing I also needed to change it around a bit by using all one kind of soy sauce (2 T) and 4 T of sugar (I don't know what palm sugar is). I also used milder chili peppers. This is a delicious tropical salad which wins rave reviews! We will be having this again soon! Thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question.
I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc.
