DIÁLOGO DE FRUTAS con cristal de sésamo y sorbete de frambuesa

Menu item. I imagine there are two types of fruit in it. But DIALOGUE OF FRUIT sounds silly. (not that it sounds less silly in Spanish). It is an Italian restaurant if that is any help

fruit combo, fruit medley
Explanation:
...are two that come to mind, but if it's only 2 types of fruit I don't think you'd want medley.

If you're sure it's only two: fruit duo? (or does that sound too much like Batman and Robin?)

A wonderful fruit duo combines to make a delicious crumble dessert. Serve with vanilla ice cream and it is even better!

fruit cocktail


Explanation:
I assume the original means that they're mixed and enjoying their "togetherness". I'd never heard such thing and hope I'll never see it again...:)

agree  Sonia Almeida: I actually like "Fruit Duo"...

  -> Thanks. Of course, it only works if there are only 2 types of fruit. Since we don't know, I think combo would be the safest option.

agree  Irina Dicovsky - MD (X): Sounds natural to me...2 or more fruits served at the same time...
