3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup
¾ teaspoon arrowroot powder
Dash ground cinnamon
Dash ground ginger
4 cups assorted salad greens
3 cups cubed watermelon
2 mangoes, seeded, peeled, and sliced or chopped
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple

For dressing, in a small saucepan whisk together the first seven ingredients (through ground ginger) until arrowroot powder is dissolved. Heat and stir over medium-high just until thickened. Remove from heat; cool.
