PICO DE GALLO -- A MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD
I spend 7 hours today serving this delicious salad at a fiesta fundraiser at my daughter's school here in California. Pico de Gallo is usually known as a type of salsa, but in this case, it is a popular fruit salad spiced with a red chili powder that is popular in Mexico. Sounds odd, but it's a delicious and addictive combination. You dice the fresh fruits into chunk size pieces and mix them together in any combination you like. Today, we combined watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber and jicama. I will list popular fruits and veggies that can go in it and you can customize your mix.

MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD
I got this recipe from my Spanish teacher in high school after a class party. It is so versatile & simple. You can use any fruit, I usually use apples, oranges/tangerines & bananas since that is usually what I have on hand. The measurements for fruit is about 4 cups chopped fruit, use less if you like more sauce, add more fruit if you want it a little thicker. You can add more fruit just before serving too. Prep time includes refrigeration time.

Steps:
- Peel jicama and pears. Core pears if using fresh or drain & pat dry with paper towels if using canned.
- Cut into julienne strips. Cut grapes in half. Place jicama, pears and grapes in medium serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir gently.
- Add Splenda, fat free half & half and cinnamon. Gently stir until well blended. Cover and chill 1 to 4 hours( I stir once during the chilling).
- Before serving, stir. You may serve in individual bowls or drain the sweet dressing from the jicama/fruit and serve on plates with lettuce leafs for the base. Jicama is juicy, full of water and also crunchy so there will be dressing to eat with a spoon.
Tips for Making the Best Mexican Fruit Salad:
- Choose ripe, juicy fruits: This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor. If you can't find ripe fruit, you can always ripen them at home by placing them in a paper bag with a ripe banana.
- Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
- Use a variety of fruits: The more variety, the more complex the flavor of your salad will be. Some good options include mango, pineapple, papaya, watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries.
- Add some citrus: Citrus fruits, such as oranges, grapefruit, and limes, help to brighten up the flavor of the salad and add a touch of acidity.
- Don't forget the spices: Spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon, can add a lot of flavor to your salad. Just be careful not to overdo it, as you don't want to overpower the fruit.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help to keep it refreshing and cool.
Conclusion:
Mexican fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can make a Mexican fruit salad that is both beautiful and delicious.
