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.

Choose ripe and flavorful fruits: This will ensure that your fruit salad is bursting with flavor. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of fruits: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some good options include mangoes, pineapples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, and blueberries.
Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and will help them to absorb the dressing more evenly.
Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the fruit and make it soggy.
Serve the salad chilled: This will help to keep the fruits crisp and refreshing.
