Wash all the fruits thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Hull and quarter the strawberries, then set them aside.
Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, removing the tough core and outer skin.
Scoop out watermelon flesh using a melon baller or cut into bite-sized cubes.
Peel the kiwi and slice into thin rounds or wedges.
Cut the grapes into halves or leave them whole, based on your preference.
Zest the lime using a microplane or fine grater, then cut the lime in half and juice it.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, and honey until well combined to form the dressing.
In a large serving bowl, gently toss together the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, watermelon, kiwi, and grapes.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruits and toss again lightly to ensure the fruits are evenly coated.
Finely chop the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the top for a fragrant finish.
Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
