# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every fruit's natural sweetness without overpowering them
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like you put thought into every bite
02 -
  • Add delicate fruits like bananas right before serving to prevent them from becoming mushy
  • The syrup helps prevent oxidation but this salad is still best enjoyed the same day
03 -
  • Let the fruit come to room temperature before tossing with the syrup for better flavor absorption
  • Use a glass or stainless steel bowl since reactive metals can affect the citrus flavor
