This dairy free fruit salad is made with a delicious citrus honey dressing. It is a simple, refreshing, and beautiful dish!
This dairy free fruit salad is not only beautiful but it is also kid friendly if you cut the fruit into quarters and halves.
This fruit salad is wonderful for holidays, especially when you have guests that may have food allergies. I often make this fruit salad for Thanksgiving when I have family over with dairy allergies.
Ingredients needed
For this fruit salad, you will need:
- Orange: You’ll need the juice and the zest of one large orange.
- Honey: To sweeten the dressing.
- White sugar: Also, for sweetening the dressing.
- Vanilla extract: I recommend using pure vanilla extract.
- Canned mandarin oranges: I used canned mandarin oranges in syrup. I drained them well.
- Grapes, strawberries, and blueberries: The base of the fruit salad.
How to make
In a medium cooking pot, add the water, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, honey, and vanilla extract.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes while stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
If desired, quarter your grapes and strawberries. Pour the syrup over and then add the fresh mint leaves.
How to store
Store this fruit salad in an airtight container in your refrigerator. It will be good for 48 hours after making.
