Vanilla simple syrup gives this easy red fruit salad a little bit of sweetness, while toasted almonds give it depth. You can use just about any fruit you like, but strawberries, cherries, and raspberries work best. Since this recipe only calls for 1/3 cup of the simple syrup, you can store the extra in the fridge to use in other recipes and drinks.
