Elderberry Summer Fruit Salad
Elderberry Summer Fruit SaladAn Extra Splash of Flavor
Here in Utah, summer is in full swing. We’ve been enjoying the heat, the fun, and the flavors!
We’re especially fond of experimenting with the flavor of elderberries, adding them to herbal teas, breakfast foods, shakes and summer drinks. This little powerhouse of nutrition tastes good in almost anything.
We’ve discovered that our elderberry syrup is the perfect complement to anything that would pair well with other berry varieties.
Which makes sense, because even though these berries are tart, with the addition of spices, lemon and honey, our syrup adds a delicious hint of unique flavors to your recipes.
Which is why we decided to add a splash of elderberry syrup to our favorite summer fruits.
We combined ripe summer strawberries, juicy pineapple, mangos, and blueberries with a bit of our honey sweetened syrup and extra cinnamon, for a special summer fruit salad we think you’ll love.
Not only does this taste great, but you’re also getting your daily dose of elderberries.
Try it for breakfast, picnics, snacking, or any time you want a little something sweet that’s also good for you!
