Ingredients

• 1 cup cubed honeydew melon
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 2 peeled and sliced kiwi
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 segments orange
• 1/2 cup diced cucumber
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp finely chopped mint leaves
• 1 tsp orange zest

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp orange zest, and 1 tbsp chopped mint. Whisk until honey dissolves completely, then set aside.
2. Step 2: Arrange honeydew melon cubes in a single layer at the bottom of a serving bowl. Top with alternating layers of strawberries, kiwi slices, blueberries, and orange segments.
3. Step 3: Gently fold diced cucumber into the lime-honey dressing until evenly coated, then pour over the fruit layers.
4. Step 4: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and fruit to absorb the dressing, stirring gently once halfway through.
5. Step 5: Just before serving, sprinkle with additional fresh mint leaves and a light dusting of extra orange zest for color contrast.
