Here's a simple recipe to guide you through the preparation:-
Ingredients:
2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1 cup walnut halves
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Berries:
Wash and gently pat dry the mixed berries.
Cut the strawberries tip and slice them. Leave smaller berries whole.
Toast the Walnuts:
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnut halves until they become fragrant and lightly browned. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Once toasted, let them cool.
Make the Balsamic Reduction:
In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens to a syrup-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries and toasted walnuts.
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the salad.
Drizzle honey over the salad for an extra touch of sweetness.
Gently toss the salad to ensure that the berries and walnuts are evenly coated with the balsamic reduction and honey.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like, and serve the Walnut Berry Fruit Salad with Balsamic Reduction and Honey as a refreshing and flavorful side dish, dessert, or a light snack.
