Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cups Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 medium Seedless cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional, for dessert variation)
• 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt. If preparing as a dessert, also stir in vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and pat dry the mixed berries. Slice the strawberries if they are large, and keep the blueberries and raspberries whole.

Step 3

Slice the seedless cucumber into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler or into thin rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 4

Wash and finely chop the fresh mint leaves.

Step 5

In a large serving bowl, gently toss the berries, cucumber slices, and chopped mint. Add the orange zest and mix lightly to combine.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts over the mixture for added crunch and texture.

Step 7

Drizzle the prepared yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly. If presenting as a dessert, serve with the yogurt dressing on the side for dipping or drizzling as preferred.

Step 8

Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving for best flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy as either a refreshing salad or a light, fruity dessert.
