Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Rinse the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Remove the green tops from the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces. Ensure that the slices are uniform in size for an appealing presentation and even flavor distribution.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Gently toss the berries together to mix them evenly without bruising them.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and vanilla extract until well combined. This will create a flavorful dressing for the fruit salad.
- Drizzle the honey and vanilla mixture over the mixed berries in the large bowl. Use a spatula or a large spoon to gently fold the dressing into the berries, ensuring that all the fruit is coated without crushing them.
- Let the fruit salad sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time enhances the sweetness and aroma of the berries.
- After resting, give the salad a gentle toss one more time before serving. This will ensure that the dressing is evenly distributed.
- Serve the triple berry fruit salad in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Enjoy it immediately as a refreshing snack, dessert, or side dish!
Tips
- Berry Selection: Choose ripe, firm berries at the peak of freshness. Look for berries with deep, rich colors and no signs of bruising.
- Gentle Handling: Always handle berries delicately to prevent bruising. Use a light touch when mixing and folding to maintain their beautiful shape.
- Honey Hack: Use high-quality, local honey for the best flavor. The better the honey, the more nuanced your dressing will be.
- Vanilla Matters: Opt for pure vanilla extract rather than artificial flavoring for a more authentic, rich taste.
- Serve Chilled: For the most refreshing experience, chill the salad for 15-20 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Presentation is Key: Serve in clear glass bowls to showcase the vibrant colors of the berries and make your dish Instagram-worthy!
