Prepare the fruit salsa by combining the diced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple in a medium mixing bowl.
Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the fruit and gently toss to coat.
Add the finely chopped mint leaves to the fruit mixture, lightly stir, and set the salsa aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat.
Cut the angel food cake into 6 thick slices, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
Brush both sides of each slice of cake with the melted unsalted butter.
Place the cake slices on the preheated grill and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cake is lightly toasted.
Carefully remove the cake from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Spoon a generous portion of the fresh fruit salsa over each grilled cake slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
