Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh?

Oh honey (pun intended), no. Fresh lemon juice makes all the difference—bottled stuff tastes flat and weirdly metallic. But if you’re desperate, use half the amount since it’s more concentrated (and maybe add a tiny bit of zest to fake that fresh flavor).

How long can this salad sit out before serving?

It’s pretty forgiving, The citrus holds up well for about 2 hours at room temperature (great for parties). After that, the mint starts wilting and the slices get too juicy. If you need to prep ahead, keep dressed citrus in the fridge for up to an hour.

Will this work with other citrus fruits?

Absolutely, Mix in blood oranges for drama, tangerines for sweetness, or even thinly sliced kumquats if you’re feeling fancy. Just avoid super-tart varieties like plain grapefruit unless you balance them with extra honey.

Is there a vegan substitute for honey?

Yep, Maple syrup works beautifully—just use a bit less since it’s sweeter. Agave nectar’s another good option, though it won’t have that floral depth. Either way, your salad will still taste like sunshine. For other sweet treats, check out these chocolate chip cookie bars .
