Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: Fresh and ripe fruits will make your salad taste its best. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Variety is key: Using a variety of fruits will add flavor and texture to your salad. Try combining fruits that are sweet, tart, juicy, and crunchy.
  • Prep your fruits properly: Wash your fruits thoroughly before cutting them. Cut fruits into bite-sized pieces so that they are easy to eat.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance.
  • Toss the salad gently: Over-mixing will bruise the fruits and make the salad soggy. Toss the salad gently until the fruits are evenly coated with the dressing.
