Cook It

1. Make the vinaigrette: Combine all ingredients in a squeeze bottle (or jar) and shake vigorously.
2. Preheat the BBQ to high heat.
3. Line a baking sheet with a dish towel or paper towels. Lay mango, peach and pineapple slices on the prepared baking sheet. Place another dish towel or paper towel on top, pressing down gently to remove excess moisture. This will help create grill marks.
4. Oil the grill. Brush oil on both sides of fruit slices, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Quickly add fruit to the BBQ and grill for a minute on each side, until grill marks are visible. Transfer to a large serving dish.
5. Drizzle with vinaigrette, then add strawberries, grapes, blackberries, feta and pistachios. Drizzle with more vinaigrette and garnish with mint.
