Description
A refreshing fruit salad with a creamy dressing that’s perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups low fat milk
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (reduce to 3 tablespoons for less sweet dressing)
- 1½ tablespoons corn starch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered (260 grams)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (150 grams)
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (135 grams)
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, canned, drained of juice (189 grams or 284ml can)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (155 grams)
- 1 cup red grapes (173 grams)
- 2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, whisk together milk, sugar and corn starch. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 8-10 minutes (it won’t be thick like pudding, it is a dressing — but it will thicken considerably).
- Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (you can speed this up by refrigerating for 30 minutes).
- In a large bowl combine strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, kiwi, pineapple and grapes.
- Whisk the cooled dressing and pour over fruit. Toss to coat (be gentle — you don’t want mush!).
- Serve at room temperature or chill to serve later. If making ahead, only add the dressing 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
- This dressing is adjustable; use less sugar if desired.
- Great for gatherings or as a light dessert.
