How to Make Basil Lime Fruit Salad Cooking Light
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves and the zest of 1 lime.
- Let the syrup cool completely. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the basil and lime zest.
- In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups strawberries (sliced), 2 cups blueberries, 1 cup raspberries, 1 mango (diced), and 1/2 cup kiwi (sliced).
- Drizzle the cooled basil-lime syrup over the fruit.
- Gently toss to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with extra basil leaves and lime wedges before serving (optional).
