Spring Dessert for a Mexican themed dinner…spring mango, pineapple and strawberries with fresh lime juice and chili
What a great way to enhance the flavor of fresh fruit/vegetables. The lime juice brings out the natural sweetness and the sweet-salt adds a refreshing note and brings out all the natural juices of the fruit and or vegetables. In Mexico this spice mix is called Chamoy and its very popular.
