I adore fresh fruit. It’s truly hard to beat a sweet, juicy strawberry or biting into a tart blackberry and feeling the seeds crunch between your teeth. I love fruit and it truly is nature’s candy.
On the weekends when I cook a big breakfast, I try to always have some sort of fresh fruit on the table. Sometimes it’s simply some fresh strawberries or whatever fruit I have on hand. But when I have a few different berries in my fridge I can’t help but throw together a simple fruit salad. Not only do I love the sweet, refreshing flavors of all the berries, it’s also a great way to lighten up the meal a bit.
The combination of mixed berries with a light dressing of agave nectar and citrus juice has long been a go to for me. It’s simple, easy to make and yields big and refreshing flavor.
While this salad is perfect to serve along side breakfast or brunch, it would also be a great way to finish up a spring or summer lunch or dinner. This fruit salad would also be amazing on a delicious homemade pound cake.
The combination of these berries are truly amazing, but this salad can be customized with whatever fruits you have on hand.
