# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks impossibly elegant but requires zero cooking—just slicing and arranging.
  • Your guests will think you spent hours when you actually spent fifteen minutes being clever.
02 -
  • The lime juice trick isn't just about preventing browning—it's about building flavor into every bite, so don't skip it.
  • Temperature matters: let everything sit at room temperature for at least ten minutes before serving, and the flavors will feel more awake.
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife for apples and a mandoline if you have the confidence—thin slices make the difference between pretty and show-stopping.
  • If your pesto is too thick, loosen it with a splash of olive oil, but do this in the bowl after plating so it stays vibrant.
