Dressing

- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash and peel the fruits as needed. Hull and slice the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwis, halve the grapes, peel and segment the mandarins, and cut the pineapple into pieces. Combine all prepared fruits in a large bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until well combined and smooth.

- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or seeds just before serving.
