A little background on how I choose recipes:
I have a few international food websites that I read up on. When I find a recipe that I like, I google it to see if other similar recipes come up from that same country. If there are several, I know it is authentic! If it seems to just come from one obscure international site, I go back to the drawing (reading) board and research to find a different dish that I might try that is more authentic.
Well. With this recipe.... it was odd. At first, I came upon literally the same exact recipe a few times, word for word, ingredient for ingredient, on three different websites. But, then I changed my wording ("Haiti fruit salad" or "Haitian fruit salad" or "Haiti salad" and... I came up with a few variations. So, I'm 90% sure this is a legit recipe, but, not 100%.
Regardless- it is VERY GOOD! It COMPLETELY reminds me of Sunday dinner at Grandma's house when I was a kid! I'm usually a minimalist when it comes to fruit salads, but, if I am ever invited to a summer potluck, I will definitely bring this!
