Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

1 cup vibrant blueberries

1 cup ripe pineapple, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced into half-moons

1 cup juicy mango, diced

1 medium banana, sliced into rounds

¼ cup honey (preferably local)

Zest from 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon)

Juice from 2 limes (about ¼ cup)

2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced pineapple, sliced kiwi, diced mango, and sliced banana. Gently use a spatula or a large spoon to toss the fruits together, taking care not to mash the softer fruits like the banana.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and freshly squeezed lime juice until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. This dressing will add a refreshing zing to the fruit salad.

      Combine: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit mixture. With a gentle touch, toss the salad again, making sure that every piece of fruit is coated in the sweet and tangy dressing.

        Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld beautifully. If you choose to use fresh mint, sprinkle it over the salad just before serving for a burst of color and flavor.

          Enjoy: Serve the fruit salad chilled, either as a refreshing side dish for a gathering or as a light and delightful dessert.
