# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just refreshing chopping and mixing
  • The honey lime dressing makes ordinary fruit taste extraordinary
  • Looks stunning on a buffet table and disappears fast
02 -
  • The longer this sits, the more the fruit will release its juices, so serve within an hour for the freshest presentation
  • Wait until the last possible minute to add the mint, as it will wilt and turn dark if tossed in too early
03 -
  • If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss everything together just 15 minutes before serving
  • Squeeze a little extra lemon over apple or pear slices if adding them to prevent browning
