Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan alternative)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon fresh mint, finely chopped (plus additional sprigs for garnish)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, for a savory contrast)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts work beautifully)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: Rinse all the berries gently under cold running water to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and hulls from the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Dice the peaches carefully, ensuring that any pits are removed. Combine all the prepared fruits in a spacious mixing bowl for easy tossing.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the honey (or maple syrup), fresh lime juice, and finely chopped mint. Use a whisk to mix these ingredients together thoroughly until you have a smooth dressing. This will not only add a complementary sweetness but also bring a refreshing zing to the salad.

      Combine: Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold everything together, ensuring each fruit piece is well-coated with the dressing, allowing the flavors to intermingle.

        Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad for an added layer of savory flavor. Toss in the chopped nuts to introduce a delightful crunch that contrasts with the soft fruit.

          Chill & Serve: For optimal flavor infusion, cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for approximately 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to blend beautifully. When ready to serve, enjoy the salad cold and garnish with additional mint leaves for a touch of freshness.
