Ingredients

For the Honeyed Greek Yogurt:

  • 1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or 3 teaspoons

For the Sweet Balsamic Berries:

  • 12 ounces fresh strawberries green tops removed, sliced in half (or quartered if particularly large) (approximately 2 1/4 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Optional Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves finely chopped or chiffonade

Instructions

  • Craft the Honeyed Yogurt: In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the whole-milk plain Greek yogurt and honey until the mixture is smooth and consistently creamy. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the berries.
  • Prepare the Berry Medley: In a separate larger bowl, combine the prepared strawberries, fresh blueberries, and raspberries. Pour the balsamic vinegar over the berry mixture. Using a soft spatula, carefully fold the berries to coat them evenly with the vinegar, taking care not to crush them. Let this medley stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the berries to macerate and their natural sweetness to enhance.
  • Assemble Your Bowls: After the marinating period, give the berries a gentle stir. Divide the Sweet Balsamic Berry Medley equally among six individual serving bowls or elegant dessert glasses.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Retrieve the chilled Honeyed Greek Yogurt from the refrigerator. Add a generous dollop atop the berries in each bowl. If you're using the optional garnish, sprinkle the freshly chopped mint over the yogurt just before serving for an extra burst of freshness and visual appeal.
