Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to substitute fruits based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a naturally sweet salad or substituted with another sweetener.
- Chilling the salad enhances the refreshing quality but serve soon after preparation to avoid fruit becoming soggy.
- Mint leaves not only add flavor but also a pleasant aroma and color contrast.
