Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup blueberries, rinsed and drained

1 cup pineapple, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced

1 cup ripe mango, diced

1 medium banana, sliced into rounds

¼ cup pure honey

Zest of 1 lime (about 1 teaspoon)

Juice of 2 fresh limes

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

Instructions

Prepare the Fruits: Start by gathering a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced pineapple, sliced kiwi, diced mango, and the rounds of banana. Gently toss all the fruits together to create a colorful medley, being careful not to mash the delicate berries.

Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, combine the honey, lime zest, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, creating a vibrant dressing that enhances the fruit's natural sweetness.

Combine: Carefully drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit salad mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, gently toss the fruits until they are all evenly coated with the delicious dressing, ensuring every piece is enveloped in flavor.

Chill and Serve: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the fruit salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. If you're using fresh mint, sprinkle it on top just before serving for an aromatic touch.

Enjoy: Serve the fruit salad cold, either as a refreshing side dish at your next gathering or as a light, satisfying dessert. The vibrant colors and zesty flavors are sure to delight your guests!
