Spicy Summer Fruit Salad

I started eating this spicy summer fruit salad and could not stop eating it! So delicious. Tart, sweet, spicy, salty…are just a few words to describe. This fruit salad is loaded with mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, cucumber, YES CUCUMBER, unsweetened coconut, oranges, lime juice and Tajin which is a chile-lime salt! Do you know what Tajin is? I didn’t until I visited friends in Mexico, had it and realized that we can get it in the US. This is the Tajin seasoning: https://amzn.to/2NVTERz.

I actually saw this recipe on the Food Network the kitchen a couple of weeks ago. They were doing their COVID -19 episodes and this was Katie Lee made this salad for the show. I’m telling you, my mouth was watering the entire time. I had to make this salad and I’m so happy I did. It’s one of those dish’s that while I was eating it I was shoveling it in my mouth saying “oh, my gosh” the entire time!

Before I give you this new recipe, here’s another salad with fruit, strawberries and blueberries. https://the2spoons.com/colorful-spinach-and-berries-salad-with-dill/. I’ve made this salad for at least 10-15 years.
