Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks
- 2 Kiwi
- 1 cup Grapes (seedless)
- 1 Orange
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry all the fruits.
Step 2
Hull and halve the strawberries. Peel and slice the kiwi into thin rounds, then cut the slices in half. Halve the grapes, and peel and segment the orange, cutting the segments into bite-sized pieces. Combine all the fruit into a large salad bowl.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and bean pod to the saucepan.
Step 4
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Allow the syrup to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the vanilla bean syrup cool to room temperature before removing the vanilla bean pod.
Step 6
Drizzle the cooled vanilla syrup over the fruit salad. Gently toss the fruit to coat it evenly in the syrup.
Step 7
If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before enjoying.
