# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey lime dressing pulls everything together without masking the natural sweetness of each fruit.
- It comes together in twenty minutes flat with zero cooking required.
02 -
- Do not dress the fruit more than an hour ahead or the berries will weep and the kiwi turns mushy.
- Tearing mint leaves by hand instead of cutting them keeps the edges from blackening.
03 -
- A pinch of salt in the dressing amplifies the honey without making it taste salty.
- Toss the banana or apple pieces in a tiny bit of lime juice first to prevent browning if you add them.
