Instructions

Prepare the Fruit: Wash all produce thoroughly. Slice the strawberries, dice the pineapple, halve the grapes, and peel/slice the kiwis and mandarins. Place all prepared fruit into a large, glass mixing bowl
Zest and Juice: Use a microplane to zest one lime into a small separate bowl. Squeeze the juice from both limes into the same bowl, ensuring no seeds fall i
Make the Dressing: Add the honey to the lime juice and zest. Whisk vigorously until the honey fully dissolves and the mixture becomes a smooth syrup
Add the Mint: Finely chiffonade or chop the fresh mint leaves. Stir them directly into the honey-lime dressing to release their aromatic oils
Toss and Coat: Pour the dressing over the large bowl of fruit. Use a large silicone spatula to gently fold the fruit, ensuring every piece is coated
Chill and Marinate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 30 minutes
Final Garnish: Right before serving, give the salad one last gentle toss and garnish with a few whole mint leaves

Notes

Choose firm fruit to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

For a vegan option, replace the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
