Rinse and thoroughly dry all the fruits.
Hull and quarter the strawberries, and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and dice the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, then add it to the bowl.
Add the blueberries to the bowl.
Peel the kiwis, cut them into halves, and then slice them into half-moons. Add them to the bowl.
Slice the green grapes in half and toss them into the bowl.
Add the pomegranate seeds to the fruit mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon zest, and honey to create a citrus dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely, reserving a few whole leaves for garnish. Sprinkle the chopped mint over the salad and gently mix.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved mint leaves.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for a cooler, more refreshing snack.
