Fresh Berry Salad

I LOVE this time of year because it’s berry season. I think I’ve had strawberries at every meal for two weeks now. We had some friends over for dinner the other night and I realized I didn’t have a side to go with it. I threw together this simple berry salad, and it was a total crowd pleaser (and I didn’t have to buy a single ingredient!).

This fruit salad is perfect for summer BBQs, neighborhood potlucks, or just to serve with your favorite hamburgers at home. It’s particularly inexpensive, while berries are in season. It would be extra tasty with fresh berries straight from your own garden, too.

How to Make Our Fresh Berry Salad

1. Toss together strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and apple juice.
2. Zest lime, and set zest aside.
3. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the berries, then top with lime zest.
4. Refrigerate until cold, then serve.

Recipe Notes

We love this salad best served cold, which makes it perfect for hot summer days.

This fruit salad recipe is extra versatile, too. You can easily add double of one fruit and forgo another if your kids don’t like, say – blueberries (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything). But you can easily adapt it to fit whatever fruits you have on hand. You can easily make a small batch of this berry salad if you’re just wanting a light snack, or if you’re making this recipe for a big crowd it can easily be doubled or tripled, too.
