Perfect Summer Fruit Salad

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/214947/perfect-summer-fruit-salad/

This is my own photo of the fruit salad I made. It was really yummy. The sauce was great. It takes a bit of time to make the sauce and put it all together. 

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 (I ended up not using bananas)

• 2 oranges, peeled and sectioned 

• (Instead of oranges I used canned mandarin oranges which is totally fine but they break up and apart as you mix the fruit. The oranges would probably stay more whole)

• 1 cup seedless grapes  (I used red and green grapes)

• 2 cups blueberries

• I also added blackberries
