# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cinnamon honey dressing makes plain fruit taste like something from a fancy cafe
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes but looks like you put real thought into it
  • You can prep everything ahead and the flavors actually get better
02 -
  • Apples and pears oxidize faster than you think, so dress this right before serving
  • The walnuts will get soggy if this sits overnight, so add them fresh if meal prepping
  • Adjust the honey based on how sweet your fruit actually is
03 -
  • Room temperature fruit has more flavor than cold from the fridge
  • Use a microplane to grate a little fresh orange zest into the dressing
  • Toasting the walnuts in a dry pan for 3 minutes transforms the entire salad
