Instructions

Prepare the fruit:
Rinse and dry all the fruit. Hull the strawberries, halve the grapes, peel and slice the kiwi, chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, and segment the orange.

Combine the fruit:
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits. Be careful to avoid mashing the berries.
Make the dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey (if using). This will give the salad a light, zesty sweetness.
Toss and chill:
Drizzle the lime and honey dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve:
Before serving, add a few fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later.

Notes

Customizations: Feel free to add other fruits like mango, papaya, or banana for a tropical twist.
Prep Ahead: You can prep the fruit a day in advance. Store the fruit separately, and toss with the dressing just before serving to keep everything fresh.
Sweetness: If your fruit isn’t sweet enough, you can adjust the honey or add a dash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Storage: This fruit salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours, as some fruits (like berries) can soften quickly.
