This is a great healthy fruit salad recipe, which still has the wow factor to be served up at a special occasion thanks to the additions of minted yoghurt and a punchy basil and ginger syrup.

Preparation
Begin by preparing the syrup. Combine the sugar and orange juice in a pan and bring up to a simmer. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the ginger and basil to the pan and leave to infuse for at least 20 minutes (or ideally overnight).
Chop the fruit into pieces of roughly the same size and mix together in a large serving bowl. In a separate dish, stir the fresh mint through the yoghurt and set aside until required.
Strain the syrup through a fine sieve, discarding the basil and ginger. Pour over the fruit and sprinkle the shredded basil over the top, serving immediately with the minted yoghurt on the side.
