Instructions
- Combine the Fruits: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped strawberries, pineapple, blueberries, halved grapes, chopped kiwis, mandarin orange segments, and sliced bananas if using. Gently toss to mix the fruit evenly.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime zest, and fresh lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a sweet and tangy dressing.

Notes
- This salad is best served fresh to maintain the fruits’ vibrant texture and flavor.
- The sliced bananas are optional as they can brown quickly; add just before serving if used.
- Feel free to substitute or add your favorite seasonal fruits to customize the salad.
- The honey-lime dressing can be adjusted to preference; add more lime juice for tanginess or honey for sweetness.
- Garnishing with fresh parsley adds a subtle herbal note and enhances presentation.
