Ingredients
  

1 cup strawberries, hulled and quartered

1 cup blueberries

1 cup pineapple, diced

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 large orange, segmented

1 banana, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: Start by washing all the fruits thoroughly. Hull, quarter, and slice the strawberries, slice the kiwi, segment the orange, and dice the pineapple.

    Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey or maple syrup, if using. This will add a fresh zesty flavor to the fruit.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits: strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, kiwi, orange segments, and banana slices.

        Add Mint and Chia Seeds: Lightly fold in the chopped mint leaves and chia seeds, if desired, to enhance flavor and nutrition.

          Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lime dressing over the fruit salad and toss gently to ensure the fruits are evenly coated without mashing them.

            Chill and Serve: For best flavor, let the fruit salad sit in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the fruits to soak in the lime dressing.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Serve in individual bowls or a large serving bowl, garnished with additional mint leaves or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
