A vibrant forest-themed salad featuring a colorful mix of fresh berries, crunchy nuts, and leafy greens, beautifully arranged on a rustic wooden plate. The berries are shiny and plump, the nuts toasted to golden perfection, and the greens crisp and lush. The dressing glistens lightly, and small edible flowers garnish the top for a whimsical touch, set against a woodland backdrop.
