Cinco de Mayo Lime Fruit Salad

Start your Cinco de Mayo holiday off right – with this Tropical Lime fruit Salad. Lets face it, you’ll be feasting on a fiesta spread later today (cheese, beans, rice, tortillas, quesadillas, burritos and more!) – so why not start off with something light and healthy. Fresh mango, grapefruit, crisp apples, sweet melon, a hint of spicy cayenne and a generous dose of refreshing lime flavor. Get my fast, easy recipe and have an energized morning!..

This light and zing-y fruit salad will be perfect paired with a Mexican-spiced hot cocoa or mocha – and maybe a light breakfast burrito or quesadilla.
