Citrus Mint Berry Salad
This berry salad tosses four kinds of berries and juicy grapefruit with fresh orange juice, a little maple syrup and torn mint, then tops it all with crunchy sliced almonds. It's a 5-minute fruit salad that looks fancy on any brunch table.
Ingredients
- ½ cup strawberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup blackberries
- ½ cup raspberries
- 1 grapefruit peeled and segmented
- 3 tablespoon orange juiced
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 4 mint leaves
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Combine the berries and grapefruit in a serving bowl.
- Drizzle the orange juice and maple syrup over the fruit. Sprinkle with the mint and almonds and serve.
Recipe Notes
- Make Ahead: If you won't serve it right away, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the fruit and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Add the almonds just before serving.
- Ingredient Swaps: An orange can stand in for the grapefruit, and any mix of berries works.
- Sweetener Swaps: Honey or another natural sweetener works in place of the maple syrup, though honey makes the salad no longer vegan. With very ripe berries, you can leave the syrup out.
- Nut-Free: Swap the almonds for hemp hearts or sunflower seeds.
