Begin by washing all your fruits thoroughly. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Next, peel the mango and dice it similarly, followed by the kiwi and papaya. Slice the banana into uniform coins to ensure even texture.

In a large mixing bowl, gently add all the prepared fruits: pineapple, mango, kiwi, papaya, and banana. Make sure they are all roughly the same size to keep the presentation appealing.

Using your hands or a pair of salad tongs, carefully toss the fruits together. Aim for a delicate mix, ensuring the fruits combine without becoming mushy.

Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the tossed fruit mixture, mixing them in without crushing the delicate fruit.

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, lime juice, honey (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the ingredients are well combined.

Once your dressing is ready, pour it over the fruit salad in the large bowl. Gently stir to ensure all pieces of fruit are coated evenly with the citrus dressing.

Transfer the salad into a serving bowl or platter and top with extra fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and aroma.

Enjoy the salad immediately or refrigerate it for up to one hour for flavors to meld beautifully.
