Juicy Summer Berry Citrus Salad: A Burst of Refreshing Flavors

Summer Berry Citrus Salad

Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and vibrant dish that perfectly captures the flavors of summer. This Summer Berry Citrus Salad is the ideal way to take advantage of the season’s bounty of fresh fruits and enjoy a light and delicious meal.

Ingredients:

• fresh strawberries (200g)
• blueberries (150g)
• blackberries (150g)
• oranges (2)
• fresh mint leaves (10g)
• freshly squeezed orange juice (50ml)
• honey (30ml)

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• citrus juicer
• mixing bowl

To start, wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into quarters. Rinse the blueberries and blackberries under cold water, pat them dry, and set them aside. Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, then slice them into thin rounds.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and oranges. Add in the fresh mint leaves, torn into small pieces for added flavor. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice and honey until well combined.

Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit salad and gently toss everything together to ensure the fruits are well coated. Allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Once ready to serve, give the salad a final gentle stir and divide it into individual bowls. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. This Summer Berry Citrus Salad is best enjoyed chilled on a hot summer day.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 540g, with about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 135g, and one serving is approximately 120 calories.

Tip: For an extra burst of citrus flavor, try adding a touch of lemon zest to the salad before serving. It will elevate the dish and add a bright, aromatic note to each bite.

I encourage you to give this Summer Berry Citrus Salad a try and feel free to customize it with your favorite summer fruits. Enjoy the refreshing flavors and colors of the season in every bite!
