Summer Berry Fruit Salad with Fresh Herbs

This dish is fresh, flavourful and is perfect for summer berry picking season! Use whatever is in season and your favourite fresh berries. I can’t wait for peach season when I can add them into the mix. The fresh herbs gives this dessert a punch of flavour and colour and the nuts add a nice crunch!

Perfect Pairing: Rosé

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries cut in half
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 cup of fresh herbs, loosely packed & chopped. I used mint & basil!
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• 1-2 tablespoons of honey or agave nectar
• 1 cup almonds, pecans, walnuts, or your favourite seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower

Instructions

1. Rinse and drain fruit thoroughly
2. Mix together in large bowl, add honey & lemon juice, stir gently
3. Add your nuts or seeds

Try serving over lemon loaf or vanilla ice cream. It would also make a fabulous side dish with BBQ chicken skewers or Grilled Salmon.
