- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
Dressing

Instructions
- Combine Fruit: In a large bowl, place the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple chunks, diced mango, and sliced kiwi together, ensuring an even mix of all the fruits.
- Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey (or maple syrup), fresh lime juice, and finely chopped mint leaves until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
- Toss Salad: Pour the mint-lime dressing over the mixed fruits. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated with the dressing, taking care not to crush the delicate fruit pieces.

- Add a pinch of lime zest or a splash of orange juice for an extra citrusy boost that enhances freshness.
- For a sweeter version, increase the amount of honey or maple syrup to taste.
- To keep the salad fresh longer, add delicate fruits like bananas just before serving.
