Begin by preparing all the fruit. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, chop the apple into bite-sized pieces, and peel and slice the banana.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, sliced kiwi, apple pieces, banana slices, and mandarin orange segments.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the coconut cream dressing by mixing together the canned coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the coconut cream dressing over the fruit mixture. Gently toss the fruit to evenly coat with the cream, taking care not to mash the softer fruits.
Refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the vegan fruit salad in individual bowls or plates, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy!
