Summer Berry Salad

This berry salad recipe is made with fruit, in red, white, and blue colors, for the summer holidays, and the perfect sweet treat. 

Nothing says summer more than a berry fruit salad. To honor the three summer holidays, Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, I used red, white and blue fruits for the salad. The dressing is a sweet, cilantro and lime coating that is perfect touch for this summer salad.

How gorgeous is this red, white and blue fruit salad. The perfect sweet treat and such a yummy way to eat some fruit.

What You Need for Summer Berry Salad

For this summer berry fruit salad recipe, I used three types of fruits and made a sweet, cilantro lime dressing to go on top.

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Apple
• Lime
• Cilantro
• Agave or honey
• Garlic salt

For the coloring, I use strawberries, blueberries and an apple. I used a whole, small, container of blueberries, about ⅔ of a normal sized container of strawberries and a whole apple. However, you can adjust this depending on how much of each fruit you want to use.

I specifically chose a red apple, as opposed to green, to keep the similar colors in this summer berry salad. Strawberries and blueberries are also some of my favorite fruits; therefore, it worked out perfectly.

However, you can also substitute any red, white or blue fruit that you prefer. In addition, if you do not need the color scheme, use any fruit that you live. A great substitute for the apples would be Jicama as well.

I love the addition of cilantro and lime in this summer berry salad. It helps play up the fresh flavors of the salad. I added a pinch of garlic salt to help balance out the flavors.

How to Make Summer Berry Salad

Summer berry salad is easy to make and can be done in about 5 minutes.

Chop/mince the cilantro. In a large bowl, combine the cilantro, lime, agave and garlic salt.

Cut the strawberries and apple up into bite-sized pieces. Add those, and the blueberries, to the bowl with the dressing, tossing to coat.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, to allow the flavors to form together. However, you can skip this step if you run out of time.
