Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe with Homemade Vanilla Dressing + VIDEO

Step 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).

Step 2

Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature (you can speed this up by refrigerating for 30 minutes).

Step 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!).

Step 4

Serve at room temperature or chill to serve later. If making ahead, only add the dressing 1-2 hours before serving.
