Dressing

- Juice of 1 mandarin orange
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine the Fruits: In a large bowl, gently mix together the pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, grapes, blueberries, and mandarin segments until well combined.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, mandarin orange juice, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
