Four Berry Salad

From Body+Soul magazine. I've made this with just strawberries and blueberries. Although the balsamic seems like an odd ingredient, it adds a lovely taste.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon  balsamic vinegar
• 2  teaspoons light brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1  cup blueberries
• 3⁄4 cup raspberries
• 1⁄2 cup blackberry
• 2  tablespoons  small mint leaves
• 1⁄4 cup  toasted pecans (optional) or 1⁄4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Directions

1. Whisk vinegar and sugar together in a medium bowl.
2. Add all berries and mint. Toss to combine.
3. Transfer to serving bowls and sprinkle with nuts if desired.
4. (Note: I only add the vinegar and sugar to the berries right before serving as I don't think the salad tastes as good when the berries have been in the vinegar for a second day.).
