For added indulgence, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or drizzling honey over the creamy fruit salad just before serving. This enhances the flavor profile and adds a delightful crunch to each bite.
To maintain optimal freshness, consume the salad within a day or two of preparation. If storing leftovers, gently pour off any accumulated liquid from the bottom of the bowl before enjoying.
