Easy Berry Fruit Salad

This berry salad is one of my favorite summertime desserts! It’s super simple to make and tastes incredible. I love the mint and rice wine vinegar added to the berries. They genuinely turn this salad into something special. I also love serving this with whipped cream. You can skip it for a lighter dish, but the cream tastes so good with the berries! I love adding a big spoonful of the cream to my plate and then adding the salad on top (so pretty!).
You Will Need
- For the Salad
2 cups strawberries, quartered (330g)
1 cup blueberries (150g)
1 cup blackberries (120g)
1 cup raspberries (120g)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (12g)
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
¼ cup mint leaves, thinly sliced into thin ribbons
- For the Whipped Cream
1 cup cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream (240ml)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (12g)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1Make the salad: Place all the berries into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and rice vinegar. Gently toss to combine. Let the salad stand for 10 minutes. Then, fold in the mint. Serve as a salad or make whipped cream for berries and cream.
2Make the whipped cream: Add the cream to a stand mixer or, if using a handheld mixer, to a large bowl. Begin beating the cream at a low speed, then increase to medium-high as it starts to foam and bubble. With the mixer running, add the sugar, and then, as it starts to thicken, add the vanilla. Whip the cream until soft peaks (as you pull the beater out of the cream, the cream should fall back into the bowl slowly).
3Serve: Add a generous spoonful of cream to a small plate, then top with the berries, some of the syrup sitting at the bottom of the salad bowl, and more mint.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Leftovers: As the berries sit with the sugar, they soften, so this berry salad is best eaten the same day you make it. If you are okay with softer berries, it is still quite delicious the next day (I love it on my everyday oatmeal).
