The contrast of cold juicy fruit against salty feta creates this incredible sweet savory moment that wakes up your whole palate
It takes literally fifteen minutes to throw together but looks like something from a magazine, making you look like a kitchen genius

I learned the hard way that adding the dressing too far ahead makes everything weep and turn into a sad soup at the bottom of the bowl
Room temperature fruit salad is genuinely disappointing, so give yourself time to chill everything after cutting if you can

If you are making this for a crowd, you can prep all the fruit and dressing separately hours ahead, then toss everything together just before serving
Leftovers rarely happen, but if you have some, the fruit will soften, so just drain off any excess liquid and it is still delicious the next morning
