# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like sunshine in a bowl, no cooking required—just 15 minutes between you and something that feels special.
  • The honey-mint dressing is so simple you'll wonder why you hadn't thought of it before, and it works with whatever fruit you have on hand.
  • It sits beautifully on the table, almost too pretty to eat, but the flavors only get better as everything mingles.
02 -
  • Don't chop the mint until you're ready to dress the salad—it oxidizes and loses that bright, alive quality that makes it special.
  • The apples will brown if exposed to air; either prep them last or toss them gently in a bit of the lemon juice as a preventative measure.
03 -
  • Prep your fruit earlier in the day if you need to, but keep it uncovered in the cold so moisture doesn't collect and make everything soggy.
  • Make the dressing separately and don't combine until just before serving if you're feeding a crowd or planning to transport it; this keeps everything at peak texture and brightness.
