MERRY BERRY SALAD

I always make this salad for winter holiday gatherings. It comes from "Quick Cooking" magazine. The salad is beautiful and incredibly yummy! There is always way too much dressing so I usually double or triple the salad amount depending on the crowd.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful berries: The quality of your berries will make a big difference in the final salad. Look for berries that are plump and brightly colored, with no signs of bruising or mold.
  • Use a variety of berries: Don't just stick to one type of berry. Using a variety of berries will give your salad more color, flavor, and texture.
  • Add some sweetness: If your berries are a little tart, you can add some sweetness to the salad with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
  • Add some crunch: To add some crunch to your salad, try adding chopped nuts, seeds, or granola.
  • Make it a complete meal: You can turn your berry salad into a complete meal by adding some protein, such as grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu.
