Tips:
- Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start assembling your salad, wash and chop all your fruits, vegetables, and nuts. This will make the process go much faster.
- Chill Your Ingredients: Chilling your ingredients, especially the fruit, before assembling the salad will help keep it cold and refreshing.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salad the best flavor. If you can, try to buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
- Don't Overmix: Once you've added all your ingredients, gently stir the salad just until they are combined. Overmixing can make the salad mushy.
- Serve Immediately: Dump salad is best served immediately after it's made. This will prevent the fruit from getting too soggy.
