Peel and core the pineapple. Chop it into bite-sized chunks and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the mangoes, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into cubes. Add them to the bowl with the pineapple.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or semi-circles. Add them to the mixing bowl.
Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and dice the flesh into small chunks. Add to the bowl.
Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds. Add them to the mixing bowl, ensuring they are added last to minimize browning.
Juice the oranges and lime into a small bowl. If desired, stir in one tablespoon of honey to enhance sweetness.
Pour the citrus juice mixture over the chopped fruits in the bowl. Gently toss everything together until all the fruit is evenly coated in the juice.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve chilled in individual bowls or over a bed of lettuce leaves for presentation.
