# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes, which means you can serve something beautiful without stress.
  • The citrus syrup is subtle enough that you taste the fruit, not the sweetness, making it feel both light and deeply satisfying.
  • It works for breakfast, dessert, or that moment when guests arrive and you need something that looks effortless but tastes intentional.
02 -
  • Prep everything before mixing—once you pour that syrup, the fruit starts releasing its own liquid and the textures change fast.
  • Don't oversweeten the syrup; the fruit itself is already bringing sweetness, and the citrus should be the bright counterpoint, not a background note.
03 -
  • If your fruit tastes a little bland, the syrup won't fix it—start with the best fruit you can find, and the salad will sing.
  • Toss everything right before serving so the fruit stays crisp instead of swimming in diluted juices; if you're prepping ahead, keep the syrup separate until the last minute.
