Spring Salad with Red Berries

For today’s recipe, red berries are the stars of the show! More often found in desserts, these colourful fruits pair perfectly in savoury dishes too. Deliciously juicy with varying notes of sweetness and slight bitterness, they add body and depth to any dish.

With the arrival of warmer days comes a great selection of delicious seasonal fruits. Berries being a part of them, I could not miss the occasion to integrate them into one of my recipes this month. By simply playing on the natural flavours of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries, we can add extra colour and notes of sweetness to this Spring Salad with Red Berries.

Make it for a scrumptious lunch-date with your friends or as a light starter for dinner, the berries’ vibrant hues and bright flavours will make everyone ask for seconds!
