Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 papaya
1 mango
1 qt. strawberries
1 pt. blueberries
1 pomegranate
1 pineapple
3 kiwi fruits
1 dragonfruit
1 small seedless watermelon
1/4 c. flaked coconut

Optional: banana or coconut liqueur

Directions:
Directions:
Peel and coarsely cut the papaya into1/2 inch chunks.

Use a mango slicer to split and de-seed the mango. Separate the mango fruit from the skin and cut into 1/2 inch chunks.

Wash and de-core the strawberries. Cut into pieces to match the papaya size.

Wash the blueberries.

Open the pomegranate and separate the seeds. Be careful - pomegranate juice can stain your clothing.

Cut off the top of a pineapple, core the center and remove the fruit. A pineapple device does this very easily and preserves the pineapple as a serving container for the fruit salad. Without one, cut open the pineapple with a knife and remove the rind. Cut the pineapple also into 1/2 inch chunks.

Peel the kiwi fruit and slice into 1/8 inch slabs.

Cut the dragonfruit in half lengthwise. Remove the fruit with a tablespoon and cut into 1/2 inch chunks while keeping the halves of the dragonfruit as serving bowls.

Split the watermelon, cut the fruit into 1/2 inch chunks while preserving the rind as serving bowls.

Combine all ingredients into a large bowl including the flaked coconut. Mix carefully but don't damage the fruit. Use the pineapple, watermelon and dragonfruit rinds for serving the fruit mixture.

Option: add some banana or coconut liqueur to the fruit mixture for an extra kick.
