Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lime juice, and lime zest until smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy dressing.

Notes
- For extra freshness, add sliced banana just before serving to avoid browning.
- Refrigerate the salad for up to 2 hours to enhance flavors but avoid longer storage as fruit can become soggy.
- Use a variety of fresh seasonal fruits for best flavor and texture.
- Mint can be substituted with fresh basil for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust honey and lime juice to taste based on sweetness and tartness preference.
