Tips:
- Use a variety of fruits: The more colorful and diverse your fruit salad, the more appealing it will be. Choose a mix of sweet, tart, and juicy fruits to create a well-balanced flavor profile.
- Cut the fruits into uniform pieces: This will help the fruit salad look neat and make it easier to eat. If using berries, leave them whole for a pop of color and texture.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light coating of dressing is all you need to enhance the natural flavors of the fruit. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Chill the fruit salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or flowers: This will add a touch of elegance and make your fruit salad even more special.
