Ingredients

1 small yellow mango, such as Ataulfo peeled, pitted, and cubed
1 mango, such as a Haden peeled, pitted, and cubed
1 small jicama peeled and chopped
1 cup pineapple chopped
1 cup papaya chopped
1 cup watermelon balls or cubes
1 teaspoon Tajín
salt
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the mangoes, jicama, pineapple, papaya, and watermelon and toss gently to mix. Sprinkle with the Tajín, season with salt, and drizzle with the lime juice, then toss well to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day before serving.

Notes

Tajín is a popular chile-salt-lime seasoning mix made in Mexico and widely available in well-stocked supermarkets and Latin stores in the United States. Clásico, the most popular blend, is made with mild red chiles, while the habanero blend delivers a lot more fire. A low-sodium version is also available.
