Note

For best texture, assemble the salad just before serving to prevent the lettuce from becoming soggy.

You can toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor and crunch.

This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, though the fruit may release some juices over time.

Feel free to substitute other seasonal fruits like strawberries, kiwi, or apples for variety.
