Hawaiian Fruit Salad

My Brother-in-law, Rich, Kite Surfing on Kauai

It’s mango season right now so they are juicy, ripe and cheep.   Papaya will also work on this salad as a replacement of one of the other fruits or as an addition.  If you want to add a little meat try some grilled chicken.  I used a fresh coconut and toasted it myself because there is no sugar added but it was hard to get into.
