# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less time than making coffee and gives you something that feels indulgent and clean at once.
  • The honey and mint turn ordinary fruit into something you'd order at a cafe, but you made it in your own bowl.
  • You can walk into any market in winter and find everything you need without hunting for special ingredients.
02 -
  • If you let this sit too long the apples and pears will weep and the salad turns watery, so serve it within a few hours of making.
  • Chopping the mint too early makes it turn dark and bitter, so do that step last and add it just before tossing.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to peel the oranges and kiwis cleanly without tearing the flesh, and you'll get prettier segments.
  • If your honey is thick and hard to whisk, warm it for ten seconds in the microwave so it blends smoothly with the lemon juice.
