Mojito Tropical Fruit Salad

Whip up a fresh bowl of this Mojito Tropical Fruit Salad for a real summer treat. It’s sweet, tangy, and the perfect side dish for those hot summer days.

ME BEFORE THE RECIPE…

So here’s some exciting news. We bought a boat.

Now ask us if we’ve taken this boat out on the water yet. No really, ask us. Okay, never mind. Don’t ask. Ben might just have a heart attack if you mention the word “boat” this early in the game. Let’s just say his first experience with our baby was not the fondest.

We’re amateur boat owners to say the least. Amateur as in we don’t know what the heck we’re doing or what to look for when buying a used boat. In a nutshell, within hours of picking up our “new” boat, we managed to replace all four trailer tires, discovered two leaks in the engine compartment, spotted more tears in the upholstery than remembered, noticed the left side ballast system was defective, and nearly drove the hull of our boat onto direct metal as the rotted boards of the trailer snapped and floated up into the water.

And just to clarify, when I say “us” I really mean Ben. I actually had no part in this all day excursion transporting said boat from point A to B…with a few unanticipated pit stops in between. My poor husband was on the verge of tears wondering what we got ourselves into the moment he realized he had to risk leaving our leaky boat docked overnight or attempt driving it onto a broken trailer.

He opted for the ladder, and by the grace of God along with the help of a few prayers, was able to get the boat out of the water unharmed….
