Dressing

- Combine fruits: In a large bowl, gently combine the red grapes, chopped pineapple, sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and sliced kiwi, mixing them evenly.

Notes
- Use a variety of fresh fruits you enjoy or have on hand for customization.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- This salad is best served the same day to maintain freshness and texture.
- Keep the salad chilled if not serving immediately by refrigerating it for up to 2 hours.
- Gently toss the salad to prevent the fruit from becoming mushy.
