# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes about fifteen minutes and looks like you put serious effort into something elegant.
- The honey lemon dressing elevates simple fruit into something that tastes almost like a restaurant dessert.
02 -
- Do not dress the fruit more than an hour ahead or the kiwi and strawberries will start weeping and turn everything soupy.
- Cutting everything to roughly the same size matters more than you think. Uniform pieces mean every bite feels balanced.
03 -
- A pinch of flaky sea salt over the finished bowl sounds strange but wakes up every single flavor in the dish.
- Chill your serving bowl in the freezer for ten minutes before assembling so the fruit stays cold on the table longer.
