Black Pepper Free Berry Fruit Salad with Lemon and Mint

Fresh berries tossed in a bright lemon-honey dressing with a scatter of mint — this is the kind of bowl that looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did. Four varieties of berries bring a gorgeous mix of color, sweetness, and tartness, while the lemon zest and juice lift everything into something that tastes genuinely vibrant. The honey rounds out the dressing without overpowering the fruit, and that short ten-minute rest at room temperature is the secret step that lets the berries release their natural juices into a light, glossy sauce. For anyone navigating a sensitivity to black pepper, fruit salads can still be a minefield when pre-made versions sneak in unexpected spice blends or seasoned dressings — this one keeps things completely clean with nothing but whole, recognizable ingredients. It works just as well as a refreshing dessert as it does alongside brunch, and the mint gives every bite a cool, herby finish that makes the whole thing feel a little special.
