2 cups Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons fresh lime zest
1/4 cup sugar

3 cups fresh Florida strawberries,
 cleaned, stemmed and quartered
1 cup seasonal mixed tropical fruit of
 choice, diced
2 tablespoons sugar

Mojito Yogurt Procedure:
Using a medium-size mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the above ingredients with a wire whisk until evenly blended. Place in a plastic container. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours prior to serving.

Strawberry Topping Procedure:
Place fruit and sugar in a mixing bowl and gently blend. Store in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Chill for four hours. To serve: Place 1/2 cup of the mixed fruit in individual serving glasses or clear glass bowls.
Top with 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Notes:
Tropical fruits may include mango, papaya and pineapple or other fruits of choice. For an added kick, mix 1/2 ounce Chambord liqueur and 3/4 cup rum. Chill and pour over fruit before topping with yogurt. A long-stemmed red wine or other elegant cocktail glass makes an attractive presentation.
