MEXICAN-STYLE FRUIT SALAD



Mexican-Style Fruit Salad image

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.

JULIE'S MEXICAN SALAD INSPIRATION



Julie's Mexican Salad Inspiration image

This is a layer salad. Just add the ingredients as listed and then toss at the table. I tend to change things up based on the ingredients I have in the house so the ingredients can vary. I use whatever lettuce, cheese, and beans I happen to have on hand. I could eat this salad every day and not get tired of it! You may want to reserve some of the dressing for individuals to add as desired.
