Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint leaves

- Add the fruit to the bowl and gently toss with a spatula. Set aside at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes or until the fruit releases its juice. Add the lime juice and rum (if using).
- Check the seasoning and add more lime juice if needed. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.
Notes
- Prepare each component ahead of time and store separately until needed. Assemble the salad a few hours before serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- This salad is best eaten within 24 hours, depending on the variety and ripeness of the fruit used.
