Apple: peel if you hate browning skin, cut 1.5 cm dice, drop immediately into a bowl of water with half the remaining lemon juice. Grapes: halve if large. Kiwi: peel, slice. Orange: supreme segments, no pith. Berries for salad: whole if small, halve if huge.

Do not toss apple and banana together early — apple waits in acid water; banana goes in last minute or it mushes. Watermelon and cantaloupe shed juice and dilute dressing — add them just before serving if you use them.
