Fruit Ambrosia with Rum

Fruit ambrosia with rum is a fantastic salad where the beautiful flavors of tropical fruit are enhanced by the addition of rum and coconut – it smells like the beach! I like to eat this with pita chips or graham crackers but it’s perfect just eaten on it’s own – like a semi-healthy snack or side dish. In fact, I plan on serving this for the mom’s in my life this mother’s day with brunch! Mmmmm…it’s seriously tasty….

Oh yes my friends, this is a real adult fruit salad:
