Can I make this salad ahead of time?

Prepare components separately and store in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Dress and combine just before serving to prevent sogginess.

What can I substitute for Greek yogurt in the dressing?

Use sour cream, coconut yogurt, or a simple olive oil and lime juice vinaigrette as dairy-free alternatives.

Is this recipe naturally gluten-free?

Yes, this salad is naturally gluten-free and paleo-friendly if made without honey.

Can I use frozen or canned dragon fruit?

Frozen diced dragon fruit works well; thaw and drain excess liquid. Canned is less ideal due to added sugars and softer texture.

How do I know if my papaya is ripe enough?

Ripe papaya yields slightly to gentle pressure and has a fragrant aroma. Skin should transition from green to yellow-orange.
