Mexican Fruit Cocktail Cups
A classic Mexican street-style fruit cup built from mango, pineapple, watermelon, papaya and orange tossed in lime juice, then finished with a dusting of salt and cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. The combination of sweet ripe fruit against sharp citrus, a savoury pinch of salt and a warm spice note is the defining contrast of this dish, served cold straight from the bowl.

Instructions
1
Peel and dice the mango, pineapple, watermelon and papaya into roughly 1.5cm cubes, keeping each fruit separate as you work so the dice stay clean.
2
Segment the orange over a bowl to catch the juice, then roughly chop the segments.
3
Combine all the fruit together in a mixing bowl, including any caught orange juice.
4
Squeeze the lime juice over the fruit and toss gently to coat evenly, which also slows browning on the mango and papaya.
5
Divide the fruit mixture between 2 bowls.
6
Drizzle each bowl with honey, then dust with the fine salt and ground cinnamon just before serving.
7
Chill for 15 minutes if time allows, or serve immediately while the fruit is cold and crisp.
