Instructions
Start by washing all the fruits thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Hull and slice the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, and dice the watermelon and pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Keep the blueberries whole.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine all the prepared fruits.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 30 minutes.
To serve, scoop a generous portion of the chilled fruit salad into individual bowls. Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with honey or agave syrup if desired, and sprinkle with chopped nuts and fresh mint leaves.
