  • Total Time: 15 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup granola or crushed nuts for crunch
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • For the champagne vinaigrette:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by washing all the berries thoroughly. Slice the strawberries into thin, even pieces and combine all the berries in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together champagne vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is well emulsified.
  3. Pour the vinaigrette over the fruit and gently toss to evenly coat.
  4. Sprinkle granola or crushed nuts over the top for added texture. Add coconut flakes or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness if desired.
  5. Serve immediately in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra berries for presentation.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh berries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Keep the champagne vinaigrette separate until serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Customize with different crunchy toppings like toasted walnuts or sunflower seeds for variety.
