Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 tbsp orange zest, or zest from one orange
  • 1/4 cup orange juice, or freshly squeezed from one large orange

  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the sugar, honey, corn starch, orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, water, vanilla bean seeds and pods.

Remove the dressing from the fridge and discard of the vanilla bean pods. Gently pour the dressing over the fruit and gently fold over to combine. Now, gently stir in the pomegranate seeds.
