Directions

15 mins to prep

0 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Add tahini to a bowl with the juice of one lemon. Whisk together until it comes back together, then add the icing sugar and whisk into a paste. Add some water if needed to turn it into a pouring consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the vanilla bean pod in half and scrape out the seeds. Add them to the tahini dressing and stir through.

  3. Step 3

    Add fruit into a bowl and toss to mix them up.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 3/4 of the tahini dressing into a serving bowl, add the fruit on top and drizzle the remaining dressing on top. Add sprigs of mint for garnish.

Variation

*Mix up the berry selection as per your preferences — blackberries and cherries work beautifully as well!
