We sometimes short-change ourselves of the full-flavor of foods because we're in such a hurry to get them to the table.

Enhance the taste (and save yourself some last minute-preparation time!) of some foods by preparing them at least a half hour before serving. This gives the flavors time to blend. This tip works well for foods served cold, such as many fruit and pasta salads, potato salad, etc.

Keep them chilled in the refrigerator.
