Wash all the berries thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt and debris. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Leave the blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries whole.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and orange zest until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
Drizzle the honey citrus mixture over the berries and gently toss to combine, making sure the berries are evenly coated but not crushed.
Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves over the salad and lightly toss again.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the Mixed Berry Salad immediately as a refreshing snack, side dish, or dessert. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves for presentation.
