    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?

    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!

    * See recipe card at the end of this post for ingredient quantities and detailed instructions

    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.

      I had never heard of “runny honey” before (from USA). Now I chuckle whenever I think about it.
      The fruit salad was a hit. Served it with the orange cream sauce.

        Hehe! Glad I'm putting a laugh in your day! Just to clarify - here in Australia you can also buy creamed honey which is quite thick and very un-runny! So happy you enjoyed the fruit salad and sauce Peggy 🙂
