Fruit Salad with Basil-Mint Syrup

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
3 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves (or more basil if you want an all-basil syrup)
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
generous pinch of sea salt (optional)
6 cups assorted diced fresh, ripe fruit and berries
Optional: additional fresh mint and/or basil leaves to garnish

In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice, agave nectar, basil, mint, lemon zest, and (optional) salt. Add the fruit to the bowl & toss to combine. Let stand at least 15 minutes (or up to 3 hours) to blend the flavors. If desired, garnish with additional fresh basil or mint leaves. Serve! Makes 8 servings.
