Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. Cut each segment into bite-sized pieces.
Peel and dice the persimmons into small cubes.
Core the apple and dice it into small cubes as well, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange segments, persimmon cubes, apple cubes, pomegranate seeds, and pineapple chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, ground cinnamon, and water until the honey is fully dissolved.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the fruit is evenly coated.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit salad. Toss lightly to combine.
Let the fruit salad sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve in individual bowls or cups, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
