For 4 servings
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, pineapple, watermelon, jicama, and cucumber. Aim for similarly sized pieces for a consistent texture in every bite.

Sprinkle the Tajín Clásico Seasoning and the optional salt over the top. Start with the recommended amount and you can always add more later.
Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated with the lime juice and seasoning. Be careful not to mash the softer fruits.
For the best fresh and crunchy texture, serve immediately in bowls or cups. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of Tajín if desired.

If you must prep ahead, chop the fruits and store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge. Combine and season just before serving.
Tajín Clásico is a popular Mexican seasoning made from a blend of mild chili peppers, dehydrated lime, and sea salt. It has a savory, tangy flavor rather than being overwhelmingly spicy. It can typically be found in the international foods aisle or the spice section of most large grocery stores.
Jicama provides a unique, mildly sweet, and starchy crunch. If it's unavailable, a crisp, tart apple like a Granny Smith or a firm, underripe pear can provide a similar crunchy texture, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
