01 -

It takes fifteen minutes flat and requires nothing but a knife and a bowl—no cooking, no stress.
The combination of tartness, sweetness, and that peppery mint somehow tastes like it cost way more effort than it did.
It's naturally vegan and gluten-free without feeling like you're compromising on anything.

02 -

Don't assemble this salad more than a few hours ahead—the longer the fruit sits in liquid, the softer and soggier it becomes, and you lose that clean brightness.
If you're adding nuts for crunch, toast them lightly first and add them just before serving so they stay crispy.

03 -

Segment your citrus over a bowl to catch the juice—that juice goes into your dressing, so nothing goes to waste.
If your mint tastes a little bitter or tough, it's been stored too long; buy it fresh the day of or store it stems-down in a glass of water on the counter.
