This fruit salad is perfect for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the citrusy sauce really makes it.

Ingredients

Sauce:

• ⅔ cup fresh orange juice

• ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

• ½ teaspoon grated orange zest

• ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  
  

Salad:

• 2 cups cubed fresh pineapple

• 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced

• 3 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced

• 3 bananas, sliced

• 2 oranges, peeled and sectioned

• 1 cup seedless grapes

• 2 cups blueberries

  
  

Directions

1. For the sauce: 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.

2. For the salad: Layer fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour cooled sauce over fruit; cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
