MEXICAN-STYLE FRUIT SALAD



Mexican-Style Fruit Salad image

Katie loved visiting the various Mexican-American fruit stands during her time in Los Angeles. The vendors would sprinkle fruit cups with fresh lime juice and the popular chile-lime salt Tajin. Inspired by those stops, she created this larger format fruit salad that has a hint of spice. The result is a refreshing and irresistible snack.

SWEET AND SPICY CHILI-LIME FRUIT SALAD



Sweet and Spicy Chili-Lime Fruit Salad image

Use fruit that is seasonal for this tropical fruit salad with some zip! I use frozen mango - always handy and no stone. NOTE: mango contains small amounts of urushiol, the same irritant as in poison ivy. Some people (like my daughter) break out in a rash if they handle mango skin, yet eating the fruit doesn't bother them!
