Long hot summer days call for quick and easy salads. During these sultry months, I crave juicy fruits and crisp salad. I like to get creative with what is on hand, letting the contents of my fridge guide me.

For this salad, I chose a berry-citrus theme. Blueberries and raspberries blend perfectly with each other and the tangy orange segments complements the entire salad wonderfully.

There is something a little special about the raspberries I used. Waste not I say, these raspberries did double duty. They first served to flavor raspberry cider vinegar. After its job was done, I reserved these cider soaked berries for another use and here they are in this salad.

I use a drizzle of raspberry cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil to provide my dressing and topped it off with a pinch of coarsely ground coarse grey sea salt.

Besides that fact that this fruit salad looks beautiful with all its lovely color tones, it is full of vitamins and all the ingredients are organic. One bit of this summer salad is like a fresh explosion of fruity flavors.
