Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can hold up well for a short time.
  • Tip 2: Freezing the salad is not recommended as the texture of the fruits will change. It’s best served fresh.
  • Tip 3: This salad pairs perfectly with grilled chicken or fish. The freshness complements savory dishes beautifully.
  • Tip 4: Feel free to add other fruits like kiwi or mango for a tropical twist. You can also replace basil with mint for a different flavor profile.
  • Tip 5: For the best experience, serve the salad chilled, allowing the flavors to be at their most refreshing.
