Notes
If you’re looking to add a little crunch, add the jicama. It’s best added in a small dice.
- Don’t discard lime zest: Zest the limes before juicing them and save it in an ice cube tray in the freezer.
- Leave it to marinate: Though it’s possible to consume immediately, 2-3 hours of chilling will allow the flavors to meld/enhance.
- For more aesthetics: Use cutters or melon ballers to ‘shape’ the fruit.
- Low budget tip: Use cheap, seasonal fruits and ones that are on sale for the most budget-friendly tajin fruit cup/salad.
