Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Blackberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Dark cherries (pitted)
- 2 medium Plums (ripe, diced)
- 1 cup Red grapes (halved)
- 10 small leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium Orange (juiced)
- 1 small Lime (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse all the fruits (blackberries, blueberries, cherries, plums, and grapes) thoroughly under cold water, and allow them to drain completely.
Pit the dark cherries and cut the plums into small cubes, discarding the pits. Halve the red grapes if they are large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, blueberries, cherries, diced plums, and halved grapes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one orange, the juice of one lime, the honey, and the vanilla extract until the honey is fully dissolved.
Pour the citrus dressing over the fruit mixture and gently toss until the fruits are evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the more delicate berries.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Toss gently once more to distribute the mint.
Transfer the fruit salad into a serving bowl or individual cups. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving for a refreshing treat.
