03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife to keep fruit pieces neat and to reduce bruising. Zest the lime before juicing for the easiest prep. Toss the salad gently so the fruit stays beautiful and keeps its natural shape.
  • I learned the hard way that using underripe fruit makes a bland salad so always pick ripe juicy produce even if it means picking your own mix at the store.
