This summer fruit salad has become my go to recipe whenever I need something refreshing and elegant. The best part? It comes together in just forty minutes total, making it perfect for last minute gatherings. I love using fresh raspberries because they're packed with antioxidants that are so good for you, plus they add the most beautiful color. The simple syrup infused with raspberry liqueur and lemon juice takes this from ordinary to absolutely delicious, and honestly, the whole thing is incredibly budget friendly since seasonal fruit is usually inexpensive. Top it all with a dollop of whipped cream and you've got a dessert that tastes like summer in a bowl.
