Instructions
1. Gather all the ingredients and tools needed, including a knife, cutting board, a mixing bowl, and a serving bowl.

6. Pour the orange juice and honey dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
7. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad for a burst of freshness and aroma.
8. Add a small pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and intensify the flavors.
9. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
