Instructions
- Wash Peaches: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly under cool water to remove any dirt or residues.

- Slice Strawberries: Remove the green tops of the strawberries and slice them thinly for even distribution in the salad.
- Rinse Blueberries: Gently wash the blueberries under cool water and drain well to avoid sogginess.

- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and add additional honey or lime juice if desired to balance sweetness and tartness.
- Chill Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: Serve the chilled fruit salad in individual bowls or on a large platter for sharing.
