ANISEED FRUIT SALAD image

A great summertime salad because you can take advantage of the many seasonal fruits available. In winter, canned and frozen can be substituted. A veritable explosion of fruits with a hint of licorice. Recipe & photo from: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Anise-Fruit-Salad
