- Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the fruit. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt dressing is a good option.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
- Garnish the salad with fresh mint or basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
