Special fruit salad

My aunt used to make this on special occasions. You make this an hour or so in advance so that the flavours of the fruits and mayonnaise mingle. 

Small pawpaw or papino
Small rock mellon
2 bananas
1 - 2 fresh pears, or a tin of pears
1 medium red apple
1 medium green or yellow apple
1 - 2 cups of chopped fresh lichees, or a tin of lichees 
1 cup of chopped celery stalk
Mayonnaise 
Finely grated peel of an orange

Cut the pawpaw, rock mellon, bananas, pears and apples into thin slices. (Don't peel the apples.) Keep each fruit separate for layering. You can mix the banana and lichees. 
Mix the orange peel with the mayonnaise. 
Mix 1 - 2 spoons mayonnaise with each fruit. 
Layer in an attractive glass dish and let stand for an hour to the flavours mingle.
