FRUIT WITH LIME AND CHILES
Submitted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Fruiterias, Mexican fruit stands, serve fruit spiked with chile powder, lime and salt to enhance the flavors. Adding additional sugar or sugar substitute is up to you, according to taste or to how ripe the fruit is. Any fruit would work well in this, but I've mentioned the ones listed in the recipe. From a special issue of Saveur, The Best of Tex-Mex. I have not tried this yet.

Steps:
- Divide fruit between 2 cups or bowls, squeeze juice from lime over fruit and sprinkle with salt and chile powder to taste and toss lightly.
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruits. The better the fruit, the better the salad. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and have a sweet, aromatic smell.
- Use a variety of fruits. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include mango, pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon.
- Add some lime and chile peppers. These ingredients will help to brighten up the flavors of the fruit and give the salad a bit of a kick. If you don't like spicy food, you can always use less chile peppers.
