💡 Chef tips
- To make this ahead of time, prepare the fruit and dressing separately and combine them just before serving to prevent the fruit from becoming too soft.
- Feel free to substitute seasonal fruits like peaches, raspberries, or melon depending on what is available at your local market.
- For an extra crunch, toast your nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant before adding them to the salad.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished salad should look like a colorful mosaic of fresh fruit, smelling bright and citrusy with a balanced sweet-tart flavor profile.
