Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup kiwi, diced
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or potential residue.

- Pour the honey-lime dressing over the mixed fruits and gently fold to coat all fruit pieces evenly, taking care not to crush the delicate berries.
