# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just chopping and whisking, so your kitchen stays cool
  • The vinaigrette transforms ordinary fruit into something that feels like a restaurant-quality side dish
  • It travels beautifully to potlucks and barbecues, holding up better than delicate greens
02 -
  • This salad is best served within an hour of dressing, but you can prep the fruit and vinaigrette separately up to 4 hours ahead
  • The mint will start to brown if it sits too long in the dressing, so add it right before serving if you're meal prepping
  • Room temperature fruit absorbs the vinaigrette better than cold fruit, so don't panic if you forget to chill everything
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon—it glides through the flesh without crushing those delicate juice pockets
  • Let the vinaigrette sit for 10 minutes before dressing the salad so the honey fully dissolves
