1-First Step: Prep the berries (mise en place). Hull and chop 16 ounces fresh strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Rinse 12 ounces blueberries, 8 ounces blackberries, and 4 ounces raspberries under cool water. Drain well on paper towels for 5 minutes. Pat dry to avoid wateriness. This takes 5 minutes and keeps textures crisp.

2-Second Step: Make the dressing. Zest and juice 1 lime into a small bowl or mason jar. Add 6 drops liquid stevia and 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves. Whisk or shake vigorously for 30 seconds until blended. Taste and add a drop more stevia if needed. Lime’s tang wakes up the berries!

3-Third Step: Combine the berries. Toss all berries into a large bowl. Gently mix with a spoon to distribute colors and sizes. No heavy stirring yet, keep them whole for that fresh pop.

4-Fourth Step: Dress and toss. Pour the lime-mint dressing over the berries. Toss lightly with a spatula or your hands for even coating. Takes 1 minute. Berries glisten now!

5-Final Step: Chill and serve. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours for flavors to mingle. Serve in bowls or jars. Garnish with extra mint if you like. Perfect side for BBQs or breakfast.
