Wash all the fruits under cold running water to ensure theyβre clean. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on size. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and core the pineapple. Cut it into bite-sized chunks and add to the bowl.
Peel the mango and cut the flesh into cubes. Add the mango cubes to the bowl.
Halve the green and red grapes. Toss them into the bowl along with the other fruits.
Peel the kiwi and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons, and add to the fruit mixture.
Peel the orange, remove any seeds, and cut the segments into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until fully combined. If using mint, finely chop the mint leaves and mix them into the dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit salad. Gently toss everything together using a large spoon or spatula to evenly coat the fruits with the dressing.
Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.
