Directions:
- 1Add 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.
- 2Cut the vanilla bean pod in half and scrape out the seeds. Add them to the tahini dressing and stir through.
- 3Add fruit into a bowl and toss to mix them up.
- 4Pour ¾ 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!
