Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into spears
- 1 small seedless watermelon wedge, sliced into triangles
- 2 cups jicama, peeled and cut into sticks
+ 9 more ingredients
Instructions
Wash and prepare all the fruits. Peel and slice the mango into long, elegant strips. Cut the pineapple into spears or rings. Slice the watermelon into bite-sized triangles.
Peel the jicama and cut into matchstick-sized batons. Peel the cucumber and slice into thick rounds. Cube the papaya into generous pieces.
Arrange the fruits artfully on a large platter or individual plates, grouping each fruit together or creating a rainbow pattern. Place the jicama sticks and cucumber rounds alongside.
Squeeze fresh lime juice generously over all the fruits, making sure every piece gets some acidity.
Sprinkle Tajin seasoning evenly across the entire platter to taste. Start with a moderate dusting and let everyone add more to their preference.
Drizzle thin lines of chamoy sauce over the fruit in a zigzag pattern for sweet-spicy-sour depth.
Finish with a light pinch of flaky sea salt and a scattering of fresh mint leaves.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and the Tajin bottle on the side so everyone can customize their plate.
