Fruit Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

Big family gatherings and "breakfast for supper" nights call for fruit salad.  Everyone likes it and it's super easy to make.  My 8 year old loves that my fruit salad has just a bit of lime juice and honey for the dressing.  He told his Nana one day "Do you know why Mom puts lime juice in this?  It's to give it a little 'spark'," just like I told him when he asked.

You can use any fruit you like, but we especially like the combination of strawberries, pineapple and mandarin oranges and they are generally accepted by a large crowd.  Blueberries, kiwi and mango are good in this too.
