Tutti Frutti

Tutti Frutti is a vibrant, sweet dessert salad popular in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India and Pakistan. It's typically made with a base of fresh or canned mixed fruits (like pineapple, grapes, and cherries) combined with a creamy dressing of whipped cream, condensed milk, or custard, and often includes colorful candied papaya pieces. The name, meaning 'all fruits' in Italian, perfectly describes its festive, multi-fruit nature.
