A refreshing and vibrant fruit salad perfect for summer days.
Peel and chop the papaya, melon, banana, kiwi, and pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the fruit's texture.
Drain the canned lychees and halve them.
Reserve the syrup for another use, like a refreshing drink.
Combine all the chopped fruits in a large mixing bowl.
Gently mix to avoid mashing the softer fruits.
Sprinkle the sugar over the fruits and add the vanilla extract. Mix gently.
Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruits.
Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the salad fresh.
Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
