FAQs
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
Frozen berries can be used if fresh aren’t available, but they may release more juice and alter the texture. Thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
How can I make this fruit salad vegan-friendly?
This recipe is naturally vegan since it uses honey as a sweetener. To make it strictly vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
