Method
Mixed Berries
Prepare berries
Rinse all berries gently under cold running water. Place them in a large colander and let drain for 5–10 minutes. Pat strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Hull and slice strawberries
Remove stems from strawberries. If strawberries are larger than bite-size (about 1 inch/2.5 cm or larger), slice them into halves or quarters so all berries are similar in size.
Combine
Place strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries in a medium mixing bowl and toss gently to combine without crushing delicate berries.
Optional finishing & dressing
Make dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, and honey or maple syrup until sugar dissolves. Stir in the chopped mint, orange zest (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity to preference.
Dress berries
Drizzle the dressing over the mixed berries and toss gently with a large spoon or spatula to coat evenly. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to meld (or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes if serving chilled).
Serve
Transfer berries to individual bowls or a serving dish. Garnish with a few whole mint leaves and extra orange zest if desired. Serve on their own or as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal, or desserts.
