I chose the combination of mangoes, strawberries, kiwi, and apples for their complementary flavors, textures and colors. The contrasting colors make for one pretty bowl of fruit salsa. The refreshing tang of lime juice combined with a touch of sweetness from honey are the only dressing these fruits need to make a yummy salsa.
Ingredients: Mangoes, strawberries, apple, kiwi, lime, honey.
Chop the fruit into uniform sizes. mine were between 1/4 and 1/2. I guess that would mean 3/8, but no need to be that precise. Unless you're left-brained and find joy in that kind of precision. Not that I would know anything about that. Combine the fruits in a bowl, and the lime zest and pour in the lime juice. Toss to coat the fruit evenly. You want the lime juice coating the fruit both for flavor and to prevent browning. Add the honey and Toss. Let it chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours. It's best if you eat it the same day. It still tastes good the next day, but some of the fruit textures will get mushy.

Directions:
