Prepare the Fruit:
Wash and prepare all the fruit as directed. Make sure to drain any canned fruit and pat it dry if necessary.
Mix the Fruit:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, mango, and diced apple.
Add Banana:
If serving immediately, gently fold in the banana slices. If preparing in advance, add the banana just before serving to prevent it from browning.
Sweeten (Optional):
Drizzle honey or agave syrup over the fruit mixture if you prefer a sweeter salad. Gently toss to coat.
Add Lemon Juice:
Add fresh lemon juice to the salad. This will help prevent the fruit from browning and add a touch of brightness.
Chill:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.
