Chiffonade (thinly slice) the mint leaves. Add the sliced mint to the fruit and gently toss.
In a separate small bowl whisk together the honey/maple syrup, oil, and vinegar until it comes together, Drizzle over fruit and lightly toss again. Garnish with the remaining mint leaves and serve immediately.

Notes
* The Blood Orange Oil adds an amazing citrusy flavor and the Blueberry vinegar has a wonderful balance of sweet and tart with a fabulous taste of fresh picked blueberries. You can use another fruity vinegar but, as always, the quality of the oil and vinegar you use will greatly impact the finished dish.
