Anise Fruit Salad image

The thing I like best about fruit salad is you can change the ingredients based on what fruits are in season. Here, a subtle anise flavor highlights a bounty of fresh fruit.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more sugar, lemon juice, or mint to taste.
