FAQs
Can I use fresh fruits instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Fresh fruits are a great alternative. Just chop them into bite-sized pieces, and you’re good to go.
What if I don’t have honey on hand?
Maple syrup or agave nectar can be solid substitutes. They’ll provide similar sweetness and will mix well with the fruits.
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Sure, you can assemble the salad an hour before serving and leave it covered in the fridge. It’s perfect for when you have guests coming over and want to prep in advance.
