Fruit salad with vanilla dressing
A delicious fruit salad is the perfect addition to a lovely brunch or lunch. You can serve it with a sweet vanilla dressing.
Preparation
- Place the saucepan on the heat source and pour in the cream. Add the sugar and set the heat to medium to melt the sugar. Stir occasionally with a spoon. Do not let the cream boil!
When steam rises from the cream, add the vanilla, turn off the heat and allow it to steep as it cools on the stovetop. Once the dressing has reached room temperature, pour it into a small jug or bowl. If you used vanilla beans, remove them and stir the seeds into the dressing. - Cut the fruit into small pieces, chunks and cubes and place it in the largest bowl together with the lemon juice. Toss well to coat the fruit with the lemon juice and prevent browning.
- You can choose to pour some of the dressing over the fruit salad before serving or serve it separately at the table. Before placing the bowl on the table, garnish the salad with some mint leaves.
If you used vanilla beans, you can rinse and dry them and place them in the sugar jar; this will give your sugar a hint of vanilla.
