# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish, which is perfect when you're rushing to a potluck
  • The cinnamon and honey dressing makes it feel like a treat while still being wholesome
02 -
  • Dicing all that fruit can take longer than you expect, so give yourself a few extra minutes the first time
  • The cinnamon needs to be thoroughly whisked into the honey, or you'll end up with clumps
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife when dicing the fruit so you get clean cuts instead of crushed pieces
  • The salad needs those walnuts for texture, but pecans work just as well if that's what you have
