Jess first made me this yummy treat as part of a little picnic (@ Walden Pond!) we went on when we first started dating. Berries are in season & they’re everywhere! Take advantage of local “pick your own” farms — or the sales in your local supermarket & bring this along to your next BBQ. It’s really easy to whip up & your friends/family will thank you! Extra bonus: it’s healthy too.
Best Berry Salad
Ingredients
2 quarts of strawberries
2 pints of blueberries
1 pint of raspberries
1/2 pint of blackberries
1/2 cup “Craisins”
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp cane sugar or other natural sweetener
Steps
1. Rinse the berries in cool water & drain.
2. Hull & quarter the strawberries.
3. Put the berries, Craisins, walnuts & sweetener into a large bowl & gently toss with a wooden spoon.
4. Let the salad rest at room temperature for 15 minutes or so to let the fruit macerate.
5. Serve immediately or cover & refrigerate.
Happy picnicking!
