Fruit salad with basil

We are still on Sardinia, enjoying the beautiful late summer. Today it has been really hot and after a long biking trip, I felt like something light and refreshing. I simply combined all the fruit I had at hand with some chopped fresh basil leaves, lime juice and maple syrup. A very nice dish on a hot day! Last time I made it, we had it as dessert and then the following day I combined the leftovers with some mixed greens. It turned out to be a fantastic side salad to the grilled tofu, eggplants and zucchini we had for dinner.
