Creamy Fruit Salad is going to be your new best friend this summer! Loaded with berries, fresh fruit and the creamiest homemade HEALTHY custard dressing.
Mix the syrup: Whisk together the orange juice, vanilla extract, honey and cornstarch in a small saucepan until smooth and there are no more dry patches of cornstarch.
Cook the syrup: Keep whisking and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until thickened to a medium syrup consistency, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps.
Cool the syrup: Take the syrup off the heat. For a shorter cooling time, pour it into a bowl. Cool to room temperature, whisk every so often to avoid a skin from forming.
Finish the dressing: Whisk the Greek yogurt and poppy seeds into the cooled syrup. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Make the salad:
Combine the dressing with all salad ingredients in a bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
Nutrition is an estimate, using 1 teaspoon of poppy seeds and without mint or almonds, as these will be optional.
