# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The honey lime dressing makes every fruit taste brighter, like you've somehow enhanced what nature already perfected
  • It's the one dish that disappears first at every gathering, even among people who claim they don't like fruit salad
02 -
  • Dont add the mint until right before serving or it will start to wilt and turn sad
  • The dressing looks thick but will thin out as it mixes with the fruit's natural juices
03 -
  • Room temperature fruit absorbs the dressing better than cold fruit straight from the fridge
  • If using canned mandarins, look for ones packed in juice rather than syrup
