A Special Stone Fruit Salad

One with a little trick up its sleeve

A friend and I were recently joking about whether or not it’s necessary to have a recipe for fruit salad — particularly one that’s made up of nothing but cut-up fruit in a bowl. Do you really need instructions for one of those?

But then I remembered that stand-out fruit salads — on top of giving off a simple, seasonal vibe that aims to highlight good, juicy fruit — that such salads can also have tricks and secrets that do merit a recipe. Because I had one not that long ago.
