- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 2 cups / about 280 g fresh mixed berries, washed and dried, for serving

Storage
Keep refrigerated. Proposed quality window: use within 3 days of mixing, following any earlier ingredient date. Add berries at serving time; do not soak the oats at room temperature.
Variations
- Use diced pear in place of berries.
- Quick oats produce a softer texture; steel-cut oats need a different method.
