Peel and dice the kiwifruits into small, bite-sized pieces. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and finely dice it. Add it to the mixing bowl with the kiwifruit.
Peel and finely chop half of a red onion. Add this to the mixing bowl as well.
Carefully seed and finely mince the jalapeño pepper. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well-blended.
Pour the lime dressing over the fruit and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until evenly combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate the salsa for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.
