Mixed Fruit Salad with Citrus Mint Dressing

Good breakfast recipe, I have done this fruit salad several times, it is really a good way to combine all these melon fruits together, fresh orange juice and chopped mint leaves give these mixed fruits delicious flavor, and it is always a good start with these nice fruits salad.
