Ingredients
  

Fruit
  • 2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 cup strawberries, halved
  • 2 cup fresh mango, cubed
  • 1 cup jicama, julienned
  • 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
Chili lime seasoning
  • 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp Tajín seasoning
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 1 Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Combine the fruit
  1. Add the fresh pineapple chunks, strawberries, mango, jicama, and red onion to a large mixing bowl.
Make the chili lime dressing
  1. Whisk fresh lime juice with Tajín seasoning and minced jalapeño until evenly combined and bright green-lime speckled.
Dress and chill
  1. Pour the lime-chili dressing over the fruit mixture and toss gently until the fruit looks glossy with dressing.
  2. Cover and chill the salad for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld and the fruit stays fresh and cool.
Serve
  1. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve cold.

Notes

For the best texture, keep everything cut and ready, then dress and chill right before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days; the fruit will soften slightly over time, but the lime flavor stays strong. For a dairy-free, gluten-free option, this recipe already fits—just use any gluten-free Tajín if your brand contains additives.
