### 🍴 **Instructions**

1. **Wash and prepare all fruit:**
Make sure each piece is bite-sized for easy eating. Pat fruit dry to avoid excess liquid in the bowl.

2. **Mix dressing (if using):**
Whisk together orange juice, honey, and lime juice in a small bowl.

3. **Combine and toss:**
Place all fruit (except banana) in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the citrus dressing and toss gently to coat.

4. **Add banana:**
Just before serving, fold in banana slices to prevent browning.

5. **Garnish and serve:**
Sprinkle with chopped mint if desired. Serve chilled.
