Instructions

Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful honey-lime dressing.
Prepare the Fruit and Mint: Wash all the fruits thoroughly. Peel and slice the kiwis and mango, hull and halve the strawberries, halve the grapes, and peel and segment the orange. Finely chop the mint leaves for a fresh herbal note.
Combine Ingredients: Place all the prepared fruits and chopped mint into a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution.
Toss with Dressing: Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and gently toss the mixture until all pieces are evenly coated with the dressing, enhancing their natural sweetness.
Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for maximum freshness, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. If adding banana, slice it just before serving to prevent browning and maintain freshness.

Notes

For added creaminess, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
Bananas can be added but should be sliced and mixed in just before serving to avoid browning.
Substitute honey with agave nectar or maple syrup for a vegan version.
Use fresh, ripe fruits for optimal flavor and texture.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 24 hours for best quality.
