  2. Toss the banana slices with lime juice to coat lightly to prevent browning and to keep them vibrant.
  3. Drizzle remaining lime juice and honey into the bowl of prepared fruits and gently toss everything together.
  4. Allow the mixed fruits to sit for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Divide the fruit salad mixture into 6 serving cups, layering the fruits attractively.
  6. Top each cup with 2 generous scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  7. Sprinkle chopped nuts over each serving and garnish with a fresh strawberry before serving.
