Servings: 4

Ingredients

Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Honey
3 tablespoons
Fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup, chopped
Mixed berries
4 cups (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
Toasted nuts or seeds (optional)
1/4 cup (almonds or sunflower seeds)

Instructions

  1. Begin by rinsing the mixed berries under cold water. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring all berries are roughly the same size for even distribution.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared mixed berries and the chopped fresh mint leaves. Gently toss them together to evenly distribute the mint throughout the berries.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey and freshly squeezed lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, forming a luscious dressing.
  4. Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the berry and mint mixture. Carefully toss everything together to ensure the berries are well-coated without mashing them.
  5. Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate it for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  6. For added texture and a nutty crunch, consider topping the salad with a sprinkle of toasted nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds, just before serving.
