Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • ½ seedless watermelon, peeled and chopped into large chunks
  • 1 cantaloupe, peeled and chopped into large chunks
  • 2–3 mangos, peeled and chopped into large chunks
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into chunks

Vegetables

  • 1–2 cucumbers, peeled (optional) and chopped
  • 1 jícama, peeled and diced

Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning, for sprinkling
  • 2–3 limes, juiced (adjust based on juiciness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit and vegetables: Peel and chop the watermelon, cantaloupe, mangos, pineapple, cucumber, and jícama into large, bite-sized chunks to ensure easy eating and a balanced mix of textures.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place all the chopped fruit and vegetables into a large mixing bowl, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Add lime juice: Squeeze the juice of 2 to 3 limes over the bowl, adjusting the amount based on the juiciness and desired tartness to enhance the fresh flavors.
  4. Season with Tajin: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of Tajin seasoning liberally over the fruit mixture to add a spicy, tangy, and slightly salty kick.
  5. Mix gently and serve: Toss everything gently to combine the flavors without mashing the fruit. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or chilled briefly in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of Tajin and lime juice to your taste preferences.
  • Peeled cucumbers are optional—leave the peel on for extra crunch and nutrients if you prefer.
  • Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and flavor contrast with Tajin.
  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain crisp textures.
  • For extra zest, add a small handful of chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
