  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the lime juice over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the fruit to macerate slightly and chill.
  4. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the remaining 4 teaspoons of lime juice, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and emulsified.
  5. Remove the fruit from the refrigerator and drain any excess liquid that has accumulated at the bottom of the bowl.
