Notes

Use any combination of berries, or change the amounts using more or less of each. This is just a template.

The fruits were naturally sweet and didn’t need any sweetener. If you find your cherries and berries are not very sweet, add 1 – 2 tablespoons of your sweetener of choice. Add it to the lemon juice or drizzle/sprinkle it over top of the salad.

Use orange juice in place of lemon for variation.

Recommended sweeteners:

  • Pure maple syrup
  • coconut nector
  • turbinado (raw) sugar
  • coconut sugar
  • date syrup
