  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors: Winter fruits can be paired with a variety of ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, and cheese. Feta cheese is a classic choice for winter fruit salad, but you could also try goat cheese, blue cheese, or Parmesan.
  • Make sure to dress your salad lightly: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the fruit. A simple vinaigrette or honey-lime dressing is a good option.
