CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE WITH HOMEMADE VANILLA DRESSING

This Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe is made with a Homemade Vanilla Dressing — no pudding mix here! It is the perfect summer breakfast, snack or dessert — use whatever fruit you have!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups 1% milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons corn starch
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest optional
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 lb fresh strawberries hulled and quartered
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 cup mandarin oranges optional (see note)
• 3 kiwi sliced, optional (see note)
• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks optional (see note)
• 1 cup red grapes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 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).
2. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (you can speed this up by refrigerating for 30 minutes).
3. In a large bowl combine strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, kiwi, pineapple and grapes. Whisk the cooled dressing and pour over fruit. Toss to coat (be gentle — you don't want mush!).
4. Serve at room temperature or chill to serve later. If making ahead, only add the dressing 1-2 hours before serving.
