Wash all fruits thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Core and chop the apple into small bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for extra fiber.
Peel the banana and slice it into circles about half an inch thick.
Peel the orange and separate the segments. Cut each segment into halves or thirds if they are large.
Remove any stems from the grapes. If the grapes are large, cut them in half. Smaller grapes can be left whole.
Combine all the chopped fruits in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit to prevent browning and to enhance the flavors.
If a sweeter fruit salad is desired, drizzle in the honey and gently toss the fruit to coat evenly.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
