Fruit Salad

The Wholesome Spoon

If you have kids, then you know how much they like fruit! It's literally 90% of what they will eat! This Fruit Salad was so amazing! Of course, I had to elevate it a little bit with some zesty lemon simple syrup and some fresh basil to really bring it all together! It's even better after it sits for a couple of hours in the fridge! Between my kids, my husband, and myself - this lasted a day in our house! So delicious! This would make the perfect addition to any potluck or birthday party!
