5. Dress and Garnish the Salad:

6. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the salad fresh to enjoy the full flavour and nutritional benefits.
Chef's Tips:
- For a heartier salad, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
- Adjust the quantity of honey in the dressing according to your preferred sweetness.
- Segmenting the citrus over a bowl will catch any juices that can be added to the dressing for extra flavour.
