01 -

It comes together in fifteen minutes but tastes like you spent all day thinking about it
The salty sweet contrast keeps everyone guessing what makes it so good
No cooking means your kitchen stays cool even in July

02 -

Watermelon releases water as it sits, so dress it right before serving or things get soggy fast
Peaches oxidize quickly so toss them gently with a little lime juice if you prep ahead
The salad needs that chill time but not more than an hour or the texture falls apart

03 -

Use a melon baller instead of cubes for a fancy dinner party presentation
Let the fruit sit with just the salt and pepper for five minutes before adding the dressing
