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.
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.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

July 14, 2017 at 12:40 PMHi Judy, Stemmed strawberries means strawberries with the stems cut off. Most people don’t like the taste of the green strawberry stems.

May 19, 2018 at 11:35 PMUse a straw! Run the straw from bottom of strawberry thru the stem’. Fast and almost “mess less”

June 12, 2018 at 9:59 PMDoes the sauce keep the fruit from turning brown? How long will it last in the refrigerator before serving at its peak?

January 19, 2019 at 11:39 AMI 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!
