Step 1
Squeeze limes and oranges into a bowl and mix in honey. Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and when hot, pour in the sauce. Bring it to a light simmer, then pour in the arrowroot starch mixed with water. Stir immediately so the sauce does not clump and remove from the heat to let it cool and thicken, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 2
Add all of the ingredients for the salad in a large bowl and mix everything together.
Step 3
Pour in the sauce/syrup and gently fold the fruits and veggies in the sauce.
