- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 tablespoons, freshly squeezed Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 10 leaves, finely chopped Fresh mint leaves

1. Prepare the fruits: Peel and cube the pineapple, mango, and papaya. Peel and slice the kiwis, and hull and halve the strawberries. Place all the prepared fruit in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, and honey until the honey has dissolved completely.
3. Pour the citrus-honey dressing over the mixed fruit in the bowl. Gently toss to evenly coat the fruit without bruising it.
4. Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and give it a light toss to distribute the mint.
5. If using coconut flakes, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly.
