What’s an easy way to improve a bowl of fruit salad? Instead of tossing it with sugar and calling it a day, make a fruit salad dressing. Using a dressing in fruit salad recipes<\/a> will draw out the sweetness and juiciness of every piece of fruit. It’s a great way to make the most of slightly underripe berries and take the edge off tart tropical fruits or citrus slices. A dressing will also thicken the juices so they’re easier to scoop when you’re chasing that last bite with your spoon.<\/p>\n

The flavors in homemade salad dressings<\/a> are so much brighter than anything out of a bottle, plus you can control the seasonings. This dressing for fruit salad calls for a slightly different technique than most dressings. Rather than whisking together oil and acid, you’ll combine two fruit juices, along with flour, lemon juice and sugar, then bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop. The boiling dissolves the flour into the liquid. The result is a syrupy sweet-tart dressing that makes any bowl of fruit taste nearly as rich as a fruit dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n
