Ingredients

2 large garlic cloves minced
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Juice and zest of 2 limes
2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeño to taste
1 cup roughly chopped cooked and shelled shrimp
1 tablespoon roughly chopped raw almonds
1½ cups balled cantaloupe melon
1½ cups balled pineapple
1 ripe yet somewhat firm banana peeled and sliced into ¼″-thick rounds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Notes

Recipe adapted slightly from the one I enjoyed from Dole, while I was a guest of theirs during #DoleFRESHfest in Charlotte, NC.
