Strawberry, Blueberry, and Orange Salad
Sweet strawberries and plump blueberries meet bright citrus in this refreshing fruit bowl. You'll toss the fresh fruit in a creamy, tangy poppy seed dressing that balances the natural sweetness perfectly. It's an effortless side dish that requires zero cooking, making it a reliable option for warm-weather picnics or weekend brunches. The mayonnaise-based dressing might sound unusual, but it creates a rich coating that elevates the simple ingredients into something special.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons poppy seed
- 2 cups fresh strawberry halves
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 orange, peeled, chopped
Instructions
- 1Whisk the mayonnaise, sugar, white vinegar, and poppy seeds together in a small bowl until the mixture is completely smooth. The sugar needs a minute to dissolve fully into the dressing.
- 2Combine the strawberry halves, blueberries, and chopped orange in a medium bowl.
- 3Pour the prepared dressing over the fruit right before serving, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
Notes
- Garnish: Top the salad with toasted sliced almonds right before serving for a crunchy texture.
- Make ahead: You can whisk the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge. Wait to chop the fruit and toss the salad until just before eating.
- Swap: If you don't have white vinegar, apple cider vinegar works well in the dressing.
