Instructions

Wash the fruits: Rinse the green grapes, kiwis, and green apples thoroughly under cold water to ensure cleanliness and freshness.
Prepare the fruits: Slice the kiwis and green apples into bite-sized pieces, and cut the green grapes in half for easier eating and better presentation.
Add lime juice: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chopped fruits to prevent the apples from browning and to add a zesty tang that enhances the overall flavor.
Toss with mint: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the prepared fruits with fresh mint leaves to evenly distribute the refreshing herb throughout the salad.
Optional honey drizzle: Drizzle honey over the salad and give it one last gentle toss to add natural sweetness before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm green apples to avoid mushiness in the salad.
Lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the apples from oxidizing and turning brown.
Mint leaves can be adjusted or omitted according to preference.
Honey is optional and can be substituted with agave syrup or omitted for a less sweet salad.
Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
