The citrus-mint syrup makes every bite feel extra special – like a little secret you won’t want to share.
It’s quick to pull together, but looks (and tastes) like pure summer luxury every single time.

02 -

I once tried making this with under-ripe fruit, and it tasted disappointingly bland – fresh, sweet fruit is non-negotiable.
If you dress the salad too far ahead, the texture gets a bit soft, so mix it up just before chilling.

03 -

Choose fruit that smells as sweet as it looks – temptation is a trustworthy guide here.
Chill your serving bowl before adding the fruit for that extra cold crunch on hot days.
