Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
- Combine Fruits: In a large bowl, gently fold together the green grapes, Cosmic Crisp apple slices, Granny Smith apple slices, red grapes, pomegranate arils, and sliced kiwis until evenly mixed.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the honey and lime juice over the fruit mixture, tossing lightly to coat all the pieces without crushing the fruit.

Notes
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for the best freshness.
- If the fruits are very ripe, keep the salad refrigerated for less than 1 day to prevent spoilage.
- To make it vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For extra texture, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- Use fresh, firm fruits to prevent mushiness.
