Notes
Dressing Adjustments: If the dressing is too thick, thin it out with a bit more orange juice or water. For a sweeter dressing, add a bit more honey or maple syrup.
Meal Prep: You can prepare the dressing and chop the fruits and lettuce in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble the salad just before serving for a quick meal.
Presentation: For a beautiful presentation, layer the ingredients in a clear glass bowl or arrange them in sections on a large platter before tossing them with the dressing.
