1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 tbsp honey (optional)
1 tbsp lime juice

Prepare the Fruit:
Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruits, removing any pith. Place the segments in a large mixing bowl.

Add the blueberries to the bowl as well.
Add the Fresh Mint:
Chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey (if using), lime juice, and lime zest.
Toss and Serve:
Drizzle the dressing over the fruit salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Feel free to use other fruits like pineapple, kiwi, or mango for variation.
This salad can be prepared a few hours ahead, but be sure to toss in the mint right before serving to keep it fresh.
