- 1 tablespoon Rose water
- 1 tablespoon Honey

Peel the pomegranate and collect the seeds in a bowl, discarding the white pith.
Using a sharp knife, peel and segment the oranges, removing any seeds. Cut each segment into bite-sized pieces.
Peel and dice the kiwis into small cubes.

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside a few whole leaves for garnishing.
In a small bowl, mix together the rose water, honey, and lime juice to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate seeds, orange segments, kiwi cubes, apple pieces, and cucumber cubes.
Pour the rose water dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios and the reserved mint leaves for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill for 20-30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
