Ingredients
  

For the Fruit Mix

  • 1 medium fresh pineapple peeled, seeded, and diced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by peeling, seeding, and dicing the fresh pineapple and papaya into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice the ripe mango, kiwi, and banana, ensuring all the pieces are roughly the same size for even mixing.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced pineapple, sliced mango, sliced kiwi, diced papaya, and sliced banana.
  • Carefully toss the combined fruits together to prevent bruising.
  • Sprinkle in the pomegranate seeds over the mixed fruits, then gently fold them into the fruit mixture.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, chopped mint leaves, optional honey, and a pinch of salt.
  • Pour the citrus dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl and gently stir to coat all the fruits.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and garnish with extra fresh mint leaves.
  • Refrigerate for up to one hour before serving.

Notes
