Incredible Fruit Salad

Ingredients

 * ½ a pineapple
 * ½ a honeydew melon or cantaloupe
 * 2 cups watermelon, cut into chunks
 * 1 cup seedless grapes, red or green
 * 1 cup strawberries, halved
 * 2 kiwi fruits
 * 1 apple
 * 2 oranges or tangerines
 * juice of one fresh lemon

Tofu Fruit Dressing

 * 225 grams (about 8 oz) soft unflavoured tofu
 * 4 – 6 tbsp maple syrup
 * 1 – 2 tsp vanilla
 * 2 – 3 tsp arrowroot flour or cornstarch (for thickening...but it's optional)
 * ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

Directions

 * 1) Prepare all the fruit by peeling, coring (if necessary) and cutting it into chunks or slices as desired.
 * 2) Toss together in a large bowl with the lemon juice (to keep it from discolouring); or you can arrange the different fruits on a large platter and use the tofu dressing as a dip.
 * 3) Rinse the tofu well and dry thoroughly between several layers of paper towels or clean cloth towels.
 * 4) Break the tofu into small pieces and put in your blender or food processor.
 * 5) Add the remaining ingredients (except the arrowroot powder or cornstarch) and blend.
 * 6) Taste and adjust the sweetener if desired, then blend again.
 * 7) Add the arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken, if desired, and blend yet again.
 * 8) Chill thoroughly, then toss into the fruit salad, or use as a fruit dip.
 * 9) This recipe also works well as a "whipped cream" on whatever your heart desires.
