1Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook the tapioca pearls for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent.
Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tapioca pearls, mixed fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and mint leaves.
Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the tapioca fruit salad cold, garnished with additional mint leaves if desired.
