- Wash and prepare all the fruits. Hull and slice the strawberries, halve the grapes, peel and segment the orange, dice the pineapple, watermelon, and banana, and slice the kiwi.
- In a large bowl, combine all the fruit, making sure to gently toss to mix everything together without mashing the softer fruits (like bananas).
2. Make the Fruit Salad Dressing:
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, lime zest (if using), and vanilla extract (if using) until the honey is dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- Drizzle the dressing over the prepared fruit and toss gently to coat all the fruit with the dressing.
- Optionally, garnish the salad with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and added freshness.
4. Serve:
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for up to an hour to chill. The fruit salad will keep its vibrant colors and refreshing flavor.
