Berries add a sweet and fruity flavor to salads. Blueberries are best fresh, so use them before they become overly ripe. Cranberries are available fresh too but are sweeter dried, which is how they are most often used in salads. Strawberries taste as sweet as they smell but perish easily, so purchase them only a few days before use. Raspberries are tiny but very big in flavor. All berries go great in salads with cheeses, other fruits and nuts. Choose those that are firm, plump, and deep in color.
