- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey

- Drizzle the honey and lime mixture over the citrus fruits and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
- Let the salad rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls or on a large platter, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
- Enjoy the salad as a refreshing appetizer, side dish, or even as a healthy dessert.
