How to Jazz Up a Fruit Salad

TL;DR

Treat fruit salad like any other salad, focusing on layering, texture, contrast, and color.
Use a discerning selection of fruits, often a 'magic triad', rather than an excessive amount.
Consider how fruit is cut and season with salt and brown sugar.
Incorporate spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, ginger, or turmeric for added flavor dimensions.
Add heat with chili powder, fresh chili, or chili-infused honey.
Use fresh herbs like basil, tarragon, or coriander to amplify flavors.
Include a dressing, such as citrus with honey/maple, olive oil, or even a vodka-based mix.
Incorporate textural elements like toasted nuts, dukkah, or sesame seed brittle.
Edible flowers can be used for visual appeal.
