In Mexico, copas de frutas (fruit cups) are popular street food. They typically consist of fresh fruit sprinkled with lime juice and chili powder and are the inspiration for this jewel-colored fruit salad. Jicama (pronounced HEE-kah-mah), also known as a Mexican potato or turnip, tastes like a cross between an apple and a potato and adds crunch to the salad. Ingredients:
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (about 1 pomegranate) |
1/2 cup julienne-cut peeled jicama |
1/3 cup sliced seeded kumquats (about 6 medium) |
2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into thin slices |
2 tangerines or clementines, peeled and sectioned |
2 blood oranges, peeled and sectioned |
1 pear, thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/8 teaspoon coarse sea salt |
Directions:
1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently. Combine lime juice, honey, pepper, and salt in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Pour over fruit; toss gently to coat. Serve at room temperature.
