FROZEN FRUIT SALAD
(Some of my photos go way back – before I knew what I was doing with a camera! Disregard that…just know that this is much more gorgeous tasting than it looks!!)
This is an old favorite that my mom used to make for special meals. She served it as a salad, but it would be great as a dessert, too. It’s very refreshing and light.
