Servings 5 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup strawberries (quartered)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1½ cups fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- Fresh mint leaves (finely chopped (about 1 tbsp))
Citrus Mint Dressing:
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 2 tsp honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- a little orange zest for extra brightness
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients until well combined.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the cherries and berries with the chopped mint.
- Drizzle the citrus mint dressing over the fruit and toss carefully to coat.
- Chill for 15–30 minutes (if you have time), then serve fresh.
Notes
- A cherry pitter makes life easier. If you’re using fresh cherries, a pitter saves so much time (and mess). No pitter? A metal straw or chopstick works in a pinch.
- The dressing does double duty. Leftover citrus mint dressing is delicious drizzled over other fruits, swirled into sparkling water, or even spooned on vanilla ice cream for a summery treat.
- It’s naturally gluten- and dairy-free. No swaps necessary—this one’s already super allergy-friendly thanks to its simple, fresh ingredients.
