💡 Chef tips
- For a make-ahead option, prepare the fruit and dressing separately and combine them just before serving to prevent the fruit from becoming too soft.
- Feel free to swap in seasonal fruits like peaches, grapes, or pomegranate seeds depending on what is available at the market.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can fold in a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut cream right before serving.
