Recipe Q&A

Can I substitute the honey in the dressing?

Yes, maple syrup or agave syrup are excellent vegan alternatives that maintain sweetness and blend well with lime.

How long should the salad chill for best flavor?

Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen before serving.

What fruits can I add or replace in this mix?

Seasonal fruits like mango, peaches, or raspberries can be added or substituted to suit your taste and availability.

Is it necessary to use fresh lime zest?

Fresh lime zest enhances the citrus brightness, but finely grated dried zest can be used if fresh is unavailable.

How should I prepare the apple to prevent browning?

Toss diced apple pieces with a little lime juice to keep them fresh and prevent discoloration.
