Mango, Papaya, and Melon Salad image

It may seem counterintuitive, but a little salt is one of the best things you can sprinkle on fruit before eating because it amplifies its flavor, highlighting sweetness and masking any hint of bitterness. Here, a specialty salt blend made with turmeric and chile does just that, bringing out the very best qualities in these tropical beauties.
