01 -

The honey lime mint dressing transforms ordinary winter fruits into something extraordinary without overpowering their natural flavors.
You can prep most components ahead of time for easy assembly when guests arrive or when you need a quick healthy snack.

02 -

Apples and pears will start to brown if prepared too far in advance unless coated with the lime dressing which helps prevent oxidation.
The salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of preparation as some fruits will release juices and soften over time.

03 -

Bring the honey to room temperature or warm it slightly to help it incorporate more easily into the dressing.
When zesting limes, only take the green outer layer, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath for the brightest flavor.
