# How to Make It:
01 -
Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull and quarter strawberries, peel and chop kiwi and mango, cube watermelon and pineapple into bite-sized chunks, and if using an apple, core and chop it into small pieces. Transfer all prepared fruit to a large mixing bowl and gently toss to combine.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and olive oil (if using). Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and adjust the seasoning by adding more honey or lime juice as needed.
03 -
Pour the Honey Lime Dressing over the fruit. Using a large spoon, toss gently to coat without crushing the fruit. Allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
04 -
Sprinkle freshly chopped mint leaves on top if desired, and serve immediately for the freshest taste. Alternatively, refrigerate the salad for up to 2 hours if preparing in advance.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Letting the salad rest for 10-15 minutes allows the fruits to soak up the dressing for enhanced flavor.
