MEXICAN-STYLE FRUIT SALAD

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.

MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD



Mexican Fruit Salad image

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.
