- 1 banana, sliced
Additions
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a naturally sweet salad.

- Chilling the salad enhances the flavors but avoid letting it sit too long to prevent fruit from becoming mushy.
- This recipe is versatile—feel free to substitute or add any seasonal fruits.
