# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The bright tart cranberries and sweet citrus create a perfect balance that wakes up your palate
  • It comes together in twenty minutes and actually tastes better after the flavors mingle for an hour
02 -
  • Fresh cranberries can be quite tart, so letting the salad sit for thirty minutes helps the honey mellow them
  • Room temperature citrus releases more juice and tastes sweeter than cold from the fridge
03 -
  • Supreme your citrus by cutting between the membranes to get perfect segments without any bitter pith
  • Taste the dressing before adding it since different honey varieties have varying sweetness levels
