# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes with zero cooking, making it perfect for when you want something impressive without the stress.
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every fruit's natural sweetness, so you taste each piece exactly as it should taste.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free, which means everyone at the table can dig in without worry.
02 -
  • Don't cut your fruit more than 30 minutes ahead of time; kiwi especially will turn everything an unappetizing brown if you do.
  • Taste your citrus syrup before pouring it over the fruit—this is your last chance to adjust sweetness and tang.
03 -
  • Cut your fruit into pieces that are similar in size so every bite feels intentional and balanced.
  • Keep the salad chilled but not ice-cold—it tastes best when it's just cool enough to refresh you on a warm day.
