What each ingredient does

Strawberries
Provide the main fruit body, sweetness and fresh flavor of the dish.
Orange
Adds bright citrus acidity and aroma that complements the strawberries.

The step that matters

Mix the orange pieces lightly with the strawberries just before serving. Strawberries are delicate and release juice when cut or handled, so mixing gently and close to serving keeps their texture firm and prevents the fruit from becoming soggy and watery.
