Sweet Heat Meets Summer Freshness 🍓🌶️

This Spicy Berries Salad is what summer dreams are made of — a bold mix of sweet, tangy, and spicy that’ll wake up your taste buds in the best way possible! 🍇🍓 Perfect for barbecues, picnics, or when you just want something refreshing but with attitude.

It’s not your usual fruit salad — think juicy berries kissed with chili-lime and fresh mint for that zesty, refreshing lift. The flavors dance between cool and fiery, and the cold bite of fruit after chilling makes it completely addictive.


💫 Why You’ll Love It

  • 🌶️ Spicy kick from jalapeño and hot sauce — you control the heat!
  • 🍓 Fresh & fruity with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
  • 🍋 Zesty lime-mint dressing that balances sweet and tangy beautifully.
  • ❄️ Best served chilled — refreshing, light, and full of flavor.

🥣 How to Make It

1️⃣ Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped mint, lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, powdered sweetener, and chili-lime seasoning. Stir in minced jalapeño and a touch of hot sauce — adjust the heat to your liking 🔥.

2️⃣ Toss the Salad

Add all your berries — strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries — into a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over and gently fold until every berry is glossy and coated.

Top with a sprinkle of chili-lime seasoning and a few mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately or chill for about 30–45 minutes for maximum refreshment.
