Tips:
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe, juicy berries. If your berries are tart, you can add a little sugar or honey to the dressing.
- To make the salad more colorful, use a variety of berries and mandarins. You can also add other fruits, such as grapes, pineapple, or mango.
- To make the salad more crunchy, add some chopped nuts or seeds. You can also add crumbled bacon or cheese.
- To make the salad more flavorful, use a flavorful dressing. You can use a simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs, or you can use a more complex dressing made with mayonnaise, yogurt, or sour cream.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it. The berries and mandarins will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
