How long can I keep leftover Berry Fruit Salad in the fridge?

You can keep leftover Berry Fruit Salad in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh, as the berries can become soggy over time.

Can I make Berry Fruit Salad ahead of time?

Yes, but for best results, I recommend preparing the salad just a couple of hours before serving to retain the berries' firmness and flavor.

Do I need to remove the seeds from the blackberries and raspberries?

No, there’s no need to remove the seeds. Both blackberries and raspberries add texture and are perfectly safe to eat as they are.

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh for Berry Fruit Salad?

While fresh berries provide the best flavor and texture, you can use frozen berries in a pinch. Just allow them to thaw completely and drain any excess liquid before mixing.

Is there a way to make this Berry Fruit Salad vegan?

Absolutely! This recipe is already naturally vegan if you stick to just using the fresh fruits and sugar. If you use a dairy-free yogurt variation, you can add that in, too.
