\nHoney
\nWater

\nLemon zest
\n1 tbsp lemon juice
\nSimmer over medium heat for 5\u20138 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
\nRemove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.<\/p>\n
2. Prepare the Fruit
\nPeel the oranges by slicing off the top and bottom, then carefully remove the peel and white pith.
\nSlice the oranges into rounds.
\nPeel and slice the kiwis.
\nPeel the grapefruit in the same way, then cut between the membranes to remove individual segments (supremes).<\/p>\n
3. Assemble the Salad
\nStrain the cooled syrup to remove the lemon zest and vanilla pod.
\nPlace all the prepared fruit into a large serving bowl.
\nPour the vanilla honey syrup over the fruit.
\nAdd the basil or mint, if using.
\nGently toss to coat.<\/p>\n
To Serve
