Salady Voankazo

Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Pour the cooled sugar syrup into a large mixing bowl and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the diced pineapple and cantaloupe to the syrup and gently toss to coat evenly.

Fold in the thinly sliced oranges carefully to avoid breaking the segments, then add the sliced strawberries and stir gently to combine.

Drain the canned lichee nuts and add them to the fruit mixture, folding gently to distribute throughout.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.

Transfer to a serving bowl or individual plates and serve cold as a light dessert or refreshing side dish.
