Peel the mandarin oranges and separate them into segments. Remove any pith or seeds for a clean finish.
Peel the kiwis and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your presentation preference.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens and arrange the mandarin orange segments and kiwi slices on top.
In a small dry pan over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will serve as your dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat the greens and fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top for added crunch and serve immediately.
