Honey Vanilla Fruit Salad – Fresh chopped fruit coated in a sweet orange honey vanilla dressing.
This recipe takes a short cut by using a jar of pre segmented mandarin oranges packed in fruit juice. The oranges go into the fruit salad and the mandarin orange juice gets combined with honey and vanilla to make the dressing.
MY LATEST RECIPES
As the fresh cut fruits rest in the dressing, they will begin to release some of their juices creating extra sauce. Be sure to stir the fruit salad well before serving.

Judy says
Never heard of stemmed strawberrys
Before why do we do this?
And how do you stem strawberries?
Planning to make this today.
Amanda Finks says
Hi Judy, Stemmed strawberries means strawberries with the stems cut off. Most people don’t like the taste of the green strawberry stems.
Nancy says
Use a straw! Run the straw from bottom of strawberry thru the stem’. Fast and almost “mess less”
Jules says
How far ahead can this be made?
Esther McGuire says
How long will this keep refrigerated?
Chrissy says
This is wonderful! I never thought to combine honey and vanilla for a fruit salad, but it’s so tasty.
April says
Oh, I’m super intrigued by the vanilla. I bet it tastes fantastic!
Frenita says
Does the sauce keep the fruit from turning brown? How long will it last in the refrigerator before serving at its peak?
Belinda says
I used red and green grapes, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, along with small cups of mandarin oranges. I stirred in the sauce just before serving. Huge hit!
