Fresh Summer Berry Salad with Honey and Mint

This is my Summer Berry Salad - fresh mixed berries with a light dressing of honey, orange and mint. The perfect quick & easy dinner party dessert!

Looking for a simple, but occasion-worthy dessert? What about a summer berry salad, dressed with orange juice, mint and honey?

Sounds fancy, doesn't it? But so easy! Give yourself a break in the dessert department for your next party or event and throw together this gorgeous mixed berry fruit salad. It's also a great fruit salad for a crowd - really simple to scale up, and it's pretty much a no chop fruit salad! The only chopping involved in my berry salad was the strawberries, how easy is that?

You can literally have a beautiful and healthy dessert ready in 15 minutes!

How do you make a summer berry salad?

Mix together a selection of berries, depending on what's in season. In my berry salad I have used:

• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Strawberries

You can use any combination of fresh mixed berries that you have available. Other berries that would be great are blackberries, mulberries or even pitted cherries (which I know is technically not a berry but I think they would be great!) - whatever is freshly available.

Then combine honey, orange juice and sliced mint, then pour the mixture over your berries. Done!

My top tips for making this simple summer berry salad

• You could make this berry fruit salad up to 4 hours ahead, just keep it covered in the fridge until needed.
• The easy way to finely slice your mint? Just lay the leaves on top of each other in a little pile, then roll that pile into a tight sausage shape then cut off thin "slices" of the sausage. Mint chiffonade - fancy!
• You can also adjust the amount of honey to your taste.
• I love to serve this fresh berry fruit salad with mascarpone.
