- 1 cup strawberries, halved
- 1 cup blueberries

Dressing
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Wash the berries: Thoroughly wash the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or residues, then drain them well.
- Slice the peaches: Cut the peaches into thin wedges to ensure they blend well with the other fruits and are easy to eat.
- Combine the fruits: Place the sliced peaches, halved strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into a large mixing bowl.
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and lime juice until fully combined to create a flavorful and tangy dressing.
- Dress the fruit: Drizzle the honey-lime mixture evenly over the mixed fruits, then toss gently to coat all the pieces without mashing them.

- Feel free to substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Adding a handful of fresh mint leaves can enhance the flavor and aroma.
- Serve chilled only; avoid leaving the salad at room temperature for long to preserve freshness.
- This salad can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
