02 -
  • Cut apples and pears should be tossed with lemon juice immediately or they'll turn brown and unappetizing
  • Room temperature cheese cubes are easier to cut and taste better than cold ones from the fridge
03 -
  • Buy slightly more cheese than you think you'll need—it always goes faster than expected
  • Drain canned pineapple thoroughly if using it instead of fresh
