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.

Reviews
This was a fantastic side dish for a dinner featuring Cuban roasted Cornish hens, black beans, and cilantro lime rice. Papaya was a little messy and got a bit mushy. I liked the cucumber as it added a little crunch. Will definitely keep this recipe!
