# How-To Steps:

02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and chopped mint until well blended.
03 - Drizzle the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to coat everything evenly without bruising the fruit.
04 - Serve immediately at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for a refreshing cooler treat.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It comes together in fifteen minutes flat with zero cooking required, which means you can make it half asleep and still impress everyone at the table.
- The optional honey lemon dressing pulls everything together and makes each bite taste brighter without hiding the natural sweetness of the fruit.
02 -
- Do not dress the fruit more than an hour before serving or the berries will weep and the whole bowl turns soupy.
- Cutting the fruit to roughly the same size changes the entire experience because every bite delivers a little bit of everything instead of one dominant texture.
03 -
- Room temperature fruit tastes significantly sweeter than fridge cold fruit, so pull everything out thirty minutes before assembling.
- A tiny pinch of salt in the dressing amplifies the natural sweetness of the fruit in a way that surprises people every single time.
