Prepare the berries.
If using fresh berries, rinse them gently under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel. If using frozen berries, make sure they are thawed and drained to avoid excess water.
Tip: Handle berries gently to avoid bruising. -
Chop the walnuts.
If your walnuts are whole, chop them into smaller pieces using a knife or pulse briefly in a food processor. This will make them easier to eat and distribute evenly among the berries.
Tip: Be careful when chopping nuts; use a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear. -
Combine berries and walnuts.
Place the prepared mixed berries in a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top. Gently toss if you want to mix them together, or leave the walnuts on top for a pretty presentation.
Tip: Toss gently to avoid crushing the berries. -
Serve immediately.
Enjoy your mixed berries with walnuts fresh for the best flavor and texture. You can optionally add a drizzle of honey or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
Tip: Serve promptly to keep the walnuts crunchy.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
