This berry salad with mint is a fresh fruit salad made with mixed berries, chopped mint, and a light honey lime dressing. It's a quick, no-cook recipe that comes together in just 15 minutes and works well for a quick breakfast or snack, or a simple side for brunch or dinner. Unlike heavier fruit salads, this version keeps things light with just a touch of sweetness and a fresh citrus finish.
Oh, how I love this simple little berry salad. I wanted to keep things super simple with just a little pop of flavor to enhance the berries. AND, I definitely did not want to add any processed sugar. So my version features just a touch of honey and lime which, let me tell you, is the perfect offset to the natural sweetness of the berries. The fresh mint is like the cherry on top. You'll thank yourself if you're able to find some. 🙂
This small batch recipe makes about 3-4 servings. I love making it on a Sunday evening so that I can have fresh single-serve breakfast options throughout the week. (Because what doesn't go well with fresh berries?)
Pro tip: The best time to make this fruit salad is right after you bring home the berries and they're still firm. The longer they sit in the fridge, the softer they become and the more the raspberries will lose their shape.
And if you're planning on hosting or attending a summer gathering or picnic, this berry salad is easily scaled up using the serving buttons on the recipe card below. Either way, there's no complicated prep here, and no special equipment needed.
