14112 Tropical Fruit Salad with Cacao Nibs Under 5 mins Under 5 mins 4 servings Tue Mar 10 16:33:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 12:55:36 -0700 2009 Easy South American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/14112 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:55:36 GMT The best of the tropics Mango, papaya, and banana, with the added crunch of hazelnuts and slightly bitter cacao nibs. Not your common bowl of sliced fruit, this salad combines the best of the tropics (mango, papaya, and banana), tossed with cacao nibs and toasted hazelnuts for added crunch and a slight bitterness to offset the sweet fruit.

What to buy: Cacao nibs are the roasted nut of the cacao bean with the hull removed. They are bitter and nutty, and can be found at health food stores and online.

Solo papayas are small papayas that have greenish-yellow skin and pink flesh. They are also called strawberry, Hawaiian, or sunrise papayas.
