Deluxe Fruit Salad Recipes

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

DELUXE DRESSING FOR FRUIT SALADS

My Aunt Mona served this dressing with a large bowl of mixed fruit 60 years ago. It has been a family favorite for special occasions ever since. She layered the fruits in a glass bowl so their colors and textures could be admired by everyone. The dressing was offered in a gravy boat or served in a separate bowl. These are some of the fruits she liked to use: pineapple pieces; diced apples; peaches; pears; melon chunks or balls; grapes; bananas; Mandarin orange segments--and even nuts and chopped dates. Feel free to use your favorites. Amount of servings depends upon how much fruit is used and how big the bowl is.
