Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup seedless watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup jicama, peeled and diced
- 1 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning
- Optional: pinch of chili powder
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and dice the mango and pineapple into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Cube the watermelon and jicama into similar sizes. Dice the cucumber after peeling if desired.
- Using a citrus juicer, squeeze fresh lime juice to measure about 2 tablespoons (30 ml).
- In a medium mixing bowl, gently toss all the diced fruit and cucumber together. Pour the lime juice over and toss again to coat evenly without breaking down the fruit.
- Sprinkle about 1 to 2 teaspoons of Tajin seasoning over the fruit. Toss lightly and taste. Add more if desired.
- If you like it extra spicy, add a pinch of chili powder and toss lightly again.
- Transfer the mixture into individual serving cups or bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Stir gently before serving.
Notes
Use ripe but firm fruit to maintain texture. Add lime juice and Tajin just before serving to avoid sogginess. Serve chilled for best flavor. Optional chili powder adds extra heat. Can be refrigerated up to 4 hours.
