Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by rinsing the strawberries under cool running water and patting them dry with a clean towel. Slice them into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Wash the blueberries gently to remove any dirt, letting them dry slightly before adding them to the bowl.
  3. Slice the Pink Lady apple into thin wedges and use a star-shaped cookie cutter to create apple stars, adding them to the bowl.
  4. Gently toss the mixture together to ensure each fruit piece is coated yet intact.
  5. In a small bowl, mix fresh lime juice, orange juice, and honey to create a dressing. Whisk until well combined.
  6. Cover the fruit salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
