01 -

It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like you spent way more effort on it than you actually did
The combination of sweet fruit and salty feta hits every craving at once, especially when its too hot to cook

02 -

I made this once with unripe melons and it was honestly disappointing, take the time to pick good fruit
The dressing can be made a day ahead, but don't dress the salad until you're ready to serve or it gets watery

03 -

Chill your serving bowl for twenty minutes before assembling, it keeps everything colder longer
If you're making this for a crowd, double the nuts and add half just before serving so they stay crunchy
