Ingredients
  

2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 bananas, sliced just before mixing
1 cup blueberries, rinsed and drained
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
1 cup seedless grapes, halved
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey (or more to taste)
Optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest for added brightness

Method
 

Prep the fruit:
    Rinse all fruit well and pat dry to avoid excess water in the bowl. Slice the strawberries, peel and chop the kiwi, halve the grapes, and cut the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
      Add bananas last:
        Slice the bananas right before mixing so they stay fresh and don’t brown too quickly.
          Combine everything in a large bowl:
            Add all the prepared fruit—strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi, and bananas—into a wide mixing bowl.
              Make the simple dressing:
                In a small cup, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and orange zest (if using). Taste and add a little extra honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing.
                  Toss gently:
                    Pour the dressing over the fruit and mix softly with a spatula to avoid crushing the delicate berries.
                      Chill and serve:
                        Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes. This helps the flavors mingle and keeps the salad refreshing.
