A Summer Mixed Berry Salad

Isn't she purdy all red, white and blue like that?

Psst - this would be PERFECT for 4th Of July also (see previous mention of red, white and blue) or any of the summer holidays.

But really, you can make this for any occasion including graduation parties, baby showers, wedding brunches, picnics or just because it's Tuesday.

And it's SUPER EASY to make also.

The hardest part of this mixed berry salad is making the dressing, because that involves using a measuring spoon (gasp). Just kidding, it's so SIMPLE.

Ingredients:

Prepare Berries For Fruit Salad

Wash berries.

Remove the hull from the strawberries and cut strawberries in half. If they are HUGE strawberries, feel free to cut them in half again.

In a large bowl combine 2 cups strawberries, 2 cups blueberries and 2 cups raspberries.

Gently mix your berries, being carful not to smash them.

Prepare The Honey Citrus Dressing For Fruit Salad

This dressing is so simple to make and so yummy!

Just whisk together the following ingredients.

• 1 Cup Sour Cream
• 2 Tablespoons Honey
• 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice

To serve, put the dressing in a small pitcher or bowl with ladle next to the bowl of berry fruit salad.

Guests can drizzle the dressing over their summer berries as desired.

How To Store Fruit Salad

Your salad will be best when eaten fresh, but the Berry Fruit Salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an air-tight container. Store the salad separately from the dressing.

Additional Fruits You Can Add To Your Berry Salad

If you want to try something new, you can add some other fruits to your berry salad.

• Mandarin Oranges
• Grapes
• Kiwi
• Peaches
• Watermelon
• Cantaloupe
• Bananas*
• Apples*

*the last two items do not stay fresh-looking for long, so only use if you are serving your salad within a few hours.

You can also make this as a mason jar salad with the dressing at the bottom and the berries layered on the top.

Just screw the lids on them and throw them in your cooler and they're good to travel to the beach or picnic area.

Super cute and you would look so stylish if you brought these to Aunt Martha's summer shindig.

Of course, if Aunt Martha is over the age of 60 she would probably think you are nuts for asking her to eat out of a canning jar.

Assuming Aunt Martha doesn't do Pinterest, of course.
