Q&A

Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: Yes, but for the freshest texture, prepare it no more than a few hours before serving.

Q: Can I add cheese?
A: Absolutely! Crumbled feta cheese adds a delicious salty contrast.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The fruit will release juices over time.

Q: Can I use another herb instead of mint?
A: Yes, fresh basil works wonderfully with the strawberry and watermelon flavors.
