    This festive side dish is so versatile and loved by all age groups. And, it so easy that you won't need to wait for a special occasion to make it. I love having it alongside a healthy breakfast, as a refreshing afternoon snack, or an outdoor treat for any time of the day. You can even top with some whipped Greek yogurt to turn it into an irresistible dessert.

    If you want more berry deliciousness, you can also try this fruit and yogurt parfait, this strawberry smoothie bowl, these mini crepes with strawberries or this blueberries and cream oatmeal.

    🌿 Ingredients

    The star players in this fruit salad are berries! 🙂 And don't worry if you can't find all of them or want to change the quantities a little; it'll be delicious no matter what.

    Fresh berry fruit salad ingredients on a brown wood table
    • strawberries
    • blueberries
    • raspberries
    • blackberries
    • fresh mint
    • lime
    • honey

    See recipe card below for exact quantities.

    📝 Instructions

    First, wash and dry all of your fruit and mint well, and trim and halve the strawberries. For larger strawberries, you can cut them into quarters.

    Then, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey and set the dressing aside. Chop the mint into small pieces and also set it aside.

    And now for the fun part. Place all of the fruit in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the honey lime mixture all over the fruit. Add the chopped mint and carefully mix everything to combine, being careful not to crush the more delicate raspberries as you stir.

    To serve your salad, garnish your serving bowl with a couple extra sprigs of fresh mint at the sides if desired.

    📋 Substitutions

    Here are a few substitutions you can make with this recipe. And again, don't worry if you don't have all of the berries listed; just use what you have and it'll be great.

    • Vegan - use agave syrup, coconut sugar or white sugar instead of honey
    • Lime - use lemon instead
    • Mint - substitute a touch of basil for a refreshing twist

    🔪 Equipment

    You don't need a lot of equipment for this salad; here's what I used:

    • colander to rinse the berries
    • paring knife to trim the strawberries
    • citrus juicer
    • cutting board
    • chef's knife
    • large mixing bowl

    🍱 Storage

    Leftover berry salad will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

    While the salad itself doesn't stand up well to freezing and thawing, you can still freeze the fruit to use in smoothies at a later date. 🙂

    🎉 Top tip

    The best time to make this fruit salad is right after you bring home the berries and they're still nice and firm. The longer they sit in the fridge, the softer they become and the more the raspberries will start to lose their shape.

    Enjoy your berries!
