Fat-Free Fresh Berry Salad

This simple berry salad recipe is fresh, healthy and delicious. It comes from the Pacific Northwest, where wild berries have been a favorite food for hundreds of years. The sugar, and tiny pinch of salt, will draw out the beautiful natural berry juices and turn them into an incredible syrup to serve with the finished berry salad.
