Berry Fruit Salad
Description
This salad brings together equal portions of four types of berries for a balance of sweet and tart flavors and contrasting textures. The dressing consists of honey for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, and poppy seeds for slight crunch, whisked to combine before tossing with the berries. The gentle toss technique helps maintain berry integrity while distributing the dressing evenly.
The salad can be served immediately to preserve the berries' freshness or refrigerated for up to four hours to let the flavors meld. Mint sprigs and lime wedges offer optional herbal and citrus notes upon serving, enhancing the salad's brightness. It makes a light dessert or side, especially during berry season or summer meals.
If preferred, you can adjust the proportions of berries to highlight your preferred types. Keeping the salad cold until serving helps maintain the berries' texture and visual appeal.
