On the Cuban breakfast table, fresh fruit has its place: a very ripe mango, a slice of papaya (fruta bomba) or a few small sweet bananas, on their own or with a squeeze of lemon. This salad brings those three tropical fruits together in one bowl and dresses them lightly with honey and lemon.
It has no orange juice or sugar: the sweetness comes from the ripe fruit and a drizzle of honey. It is light, takes ten minutes to make and suits a hot morning or a fresh afternoon snack.
