I'm not a big fan of fruit salad, but this one was actually pretty good. The spices and nuts added a nice touch.

This fruit salad is a good starting point, but I think it could be improved with some additional ingredients. I would add some fresh herbs, like mint or basil, and maybe some chopped nuts.

Overall, I thought this fruit salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This fruit salad is not as refreshing as I was hoping. I think it needs more citrus fruit.

I found that the cardamom and nutmeg were a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less of both spices.

This fruit salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I've never tried cardamom or nutmeg in a fruit salad before, but I'm so glad I did! The spices really elevated the flavors of the fruit and made the salad feel special.

This fruit salad with cardamom and nutmeg was a delightful treat! The combination of flavors was unique and refreshing, with the spices adding a warm and aromatic touch. The fruit was perfectly ripe and juicy, and the dressing was light and tangy.
