A Note from Alicia:           

This red, white and blue colored salad is the perfect quick and easy dish to bring to your family gathering or summer celebration. It takes moments to put together, it’s fresh and light, and it travels well.

You can top each serving with thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, raw cacao nibs or sunflower, pumpkin and hemp seeds for a satisfying breakfast. Or, serve as a simple finale to a sumptuous dinner. This salad is versatile and one of my personal go-to recipes for my busy lifestyle.

More than anything, this delicious fruit salad is a celebration of summer’s berry bounty! Rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, this simple berry salad is sure to be a summer favorite.
