When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?

Why is it une salade de fruits and not une salade des fruits  ?

In the following sentence why is him the word lui and not le?  I thought lui was usually used only with verbs that could be associated with à.  The example: “ “It’s necessary that I find him an original gift.”

according to another app I’m using the correct answer is: “ il faut que je lui trouve un cadeau original” and not “il faut que je le trouve un cadeau original”  I’m confused with this.  

Est-ce qu'on utilise "À partir du premier jour des vacances..." au lieu de "Dès le premier jour des vacances..." dans ce contexte ?  Si non, pourquoi ?

Hi, I used " pour autant que je m'en souvienne" and it marked my answer as wrong. Can someone please explain that. thanks

Hello, I don't understand why "As tu vu le cousin d'Eve ?" was marked wrong. I don't see anything indicating the cousin was female.
