📖 Instructions

1. First, grab your cutting board and chef's knife. Carefully wash all the fruits under cool running water. This step is important to remove any dirt or residue.
2. Begin with the larger fruits. Slice the pineapple lengthwise, then cut each half into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Remove the core from each wedge. Next, peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit, then dice it into 3/4-inch cubes.
3. Move on to the kiwi. Trim off both ends and peel away the skin using a paring knife. Slice the kiwi into 1/4-inch thick rounds. For the strawberries, hull them and slice them in half if they're small, or quarter them if they're large.
4. Now, prepare the blueberries and raspberries. Check for any stems or damaged berries. Gently rinse them in a colander and let them drain completely. These berries add a burst of color and flavor, so handle them with care.
5. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and lime zest. Make sure the honey is well combined with the lime juice, creating a smooth and flavorful dressing. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness as needed. If you like a little zing, add a pinch of grated ginger.
6. Take your large serving platter. Begin arranging the pineapple wedges along the bottom edge, mimicking the base of a mountain range. Stagger the slices to create depth and visual interest.
7. Next, mound the diced mango in the center of the platter, forming the main body of the 'mountain.' Scatter some blueberries around the base to add color and contrast.
8. Arrange the kiwi slices along the sides of the mango, creating a terraced effect. This adds a layer of texture and visual appeal. Overlap the slices slightly for a more natural look.
9. Scatter the halved or quartered strawberries around the platter, filling in any gaps. The vibrant red color of the strawberries adds a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
10. Sprinkle the raspberries generously over the entire platter, allowing them to nestle among the other fruits. Their tartness complements the sweetness of the other fruits.
11. Drizzle the honey-lime dressing evenly over the fruit array. Be careful not to oversaturate it; you want just enough to lightly coat the fruit and enhance its flavors.
12. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. This adds a pop of color and a refreshing aroma. Serve immediately and watch as your guests marvel at your Mountain Majesty Fruit Array!
