# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay sane
  • The vinaigrette transforms ordinary fruit into something that feels restaurant fancy but takes five minutes
02 -
  • This does not keep well overnight so make it the same day you plan to serve it
  • Wait to toss with the dressing until right before serving or the fruit will release too much juice
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon, it glides through instead of getting stuck
  • Let the dressed salad sit for five minutes before serving so the flavors can get to know each other
