Mixed Berry Fruit Salad
There’s nothing better than fresh fruit in the summertime. Especially fresh, ripe and juicy berries since it’s their peak season. You can absolutely use other types to make a rainbow fruit salad or a creamy grape salad, but this berry version is my new favorite.
This berry fruit salad is full of fresh strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and topped with a honey lime dressing. The dressing is simple to make and adds the perfect amount of sweetness. This is our favorite fruit summer salad recipe!
Berry Fruit Salad Ingredients
Berries:
- Strawberries
- Blackberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
Berry Fruit Salad Dressing:
- Honey
- Lime juice
- Lime zest
Tips + Variations
- Start with fresh berries. This will help ensure the freshest and sweetest taste.
- Wash and dry. I like to clean my berries with cold water and vinegar and then lay them on a paper towel to dry. Gently pat any excess moisture out to prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
- Use a lemon. If you have lemons on hand, you can definitely swap the lime for a lemon.
- Garnish with mint. It adds the perfect balance!
- Add dressing just before serving. This will help the fruit salad to stay fresh longest.
- Add in mixed fruits. You’re welcome to mix it up and add in different fruits such as cherries, mandarin oranges or fresh pineapple.
- Serve these berries straight from the bowl or over greek yogurt with my healthy granola. If I have leftovers the next day, I serve it over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storing + Make Ahead
This berry salad tastes best if served within the first day or two. If you plan to make it ahead of time, I’d recommend waiting to add the dressing just before serving. You can chop and mix the fruit together in advance, as well as make the dressing. Simply store in separate containers in the fridge and mix together right before enjoying.

I made this with canaloupe and grapes at work and it was a hit. I am hoping the berries and lime dressing is just as good.
Yum! That sounds delicious! So glad that you love this fruit salad!
