# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in twenty minutes flat but looks like you spent forever arranging it
  • The honey lime dressing makes ordinary fruit taste extraordinary
  • You can prep it ahead and it actually gets better as it sits
02 -
  • The fruit will release some juice as it sits and that is perfectly normal
  • Add the mint right before serving or it will start to look wilted and sad
  • This salad tastes best at room temperature where all the fruit flavors really pop
03 -
  • Use a glass bowl to show off all those gorgeous layers of color
  • Let the fruit sit at room temperature for twenty minutes before serving for the best flavor
