Tips and Tricks

Looking to make the perfect fruit salad? Here are some tips and tricks to help you out!

- start with a good base of fresh, in-season fruits. This will ensure that your salad is both delicious and nutritious!

- mix up the textures by including a variety of fruits with different levels of sweetness, tartness, and juiciness. This will make for a more interesting and enjoyable salad.

- get creative with your add-ins! Nuts, seeds, herbs, and even spices can all elevate the flavor of your fruit salad. Just be sure not to go overboard – a little goes a long way!

- finally, don’t forget the dressing! A simple vinaigrette or even just a touch of lemon juice can really bring all the flavors together. Be careful not to dress the salad too far in advance, though, as the dressing can cause the fruits to start to break down.
