Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces fresh blueberries
- 4 ounces fresh raspberries
- 4 ounces fresh blackberries
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
Dressing
- Zest of 1 small lime
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and gently dry all berries and cherries. Place them in a large mixing bowl for easy tossing.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, and honey until combined, creating a light and tangy dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the lime and honey dressing over the mixed fruit and toss gently to evenly coat all the berries and cherries.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fruit salad until ready to serve for best flavor and freshness. It is ideal to enjoy the salad the same day it is prepared, but it can be kept fresh for up to two days.
Notes
- Make sure to pit the cherries thoroughly to avoid any bites on pits.
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- This salad is best served chilled and does not hold well past two days as the fruit releases juice.
- Gently toss to avoid crushing delicate berries.
