How to make Tiger fruit salad

  1. Gently toss the fruit, chilli, vinegar, sugar, and ½ tsp salt in a medium bowl until combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the fruit to become spicy and flavourful.

  2. Meanwhile, gather the coriander into a bundle and chop it into 5 cm pieces. Transfer it to a medium bowl, then add the scallions and celery, and toss to combine.

  3. Drain the fruit using a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl, reserving the liquid and setting the fruit aside.

  4. Add the oil, soy sauce, and lime zest to the marinating liquid in the bowl, then whisk to combine.

  5. Pour the dressing over the coriander mixture and toss to coat.

  6. Gently add the reserved fruit and sesame seeds, then toss until well combined. Taste the salad and season with more salt if needed.

  7. Transfer the salad to a serving platter and serve with lime wedges.
