# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey lime dressing transforms ordinary fruit into something that tastes like it came from a fancy brunch spot.
- Zero cooking means you can throw this together while barely awake and still impress everyone at the picnic.
02 -
- Do not dress the salad more than an hour before serving or the fruits will weep and you will end up with soup at the bottom of the bowl.
- Taste your lime before juicing it because a dry lime gives you almost nothing and you will wonder why the dressing falls flat.
03 -
- Cut all fruits to roughly the same size so every spoonful feels balanced instead of getting a giant mango chunk next to a tiny blueberry.
- Room temperature honey blends much easier into the lime juice so if yours has crystallized in the cupboard, warm it for ten seconds first.
