Pregnancy Friendly Berry Fruit Salad with Lemon and Mint
Four cups of mixed berries tossed in a bright lemon-honey dressing is exactly the kind of dish that feels indulgent while doing your body a genuine favor. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries together deliver a gorgeous range of antioxidants, natural sweetness, and folate — nutrients that matter a lot during pregnancy. The dressing is nothing more than fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a spoonful of honey, so there are no mystery additives or ingredients to second-guess. A handful of thinly sliced fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby lift that makes the whole bowl taste surprisingly sophisticated. Letting the salad rest for ten minutes before serving is a small but smart step — the berries soften slightly and release their juices, turning the dressing into something almost syrupy. It works beautifully as a light breakfast, a refreshing snack, or a pretty dessert when heavier options feel like too much.
