Blue Ribbon Recipe
A unique and refreshing take on fruit salad. This delicious fruit salad has a mixture of sweet and tart flavors that are dressed in sugar, vanilla, chopped mint, and basil. The sugar macerates in the fruit creating a glaze. We loved the mint and basil flavor that developed. A sprinkling of coconut gives the salad a creamy flavor. Yum!
