# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can pull this together half asleep and still impress everyone at the table.
  • The honey lemon mint dressing sounds fancy but takes about thirty seconds and makes everything taste like a garden party.
02 -
  • Do not dress the fruit more than an hour ahead or the berries will weep and the kiwi turns mushy.
  • A pinch of salt in the dressing sounds wrong but it wakes up every single flavor in the bowl.
03 -
  • Dry the washed fruit thoroughly on a clean towel before assembling because wet fruit dilutes the dressing and makes the bowl watery.
  • Chill the serving bowl in the freezer for ten minutes before filling it and the whole dish stays colder longer on a warm day.
