This salad is an ode to the simple pleasure of sweet fruit dusted with tart Tajín (a mix of salt, dehydrated lime juice, and ground chiles)—a refreshing Mexican street snack. Crisp lettuce and buttery avocados offer additional texture. Mayonnaise in the dressing keeps it creamy and stable, coating the leaves in a thin gloss without dripping away. If your Asian pear isn’t gigantic, fragrant, and wearing a foam jacket to prevent bruising, use a couple of crisp apples instead. Want to make the salad extra pretty? Use a mix of radishes like purple and watermelon.

Back to TopThis salad is a wonderful blend of spice and tangy. The Serrano peppers added a kick that I really enjoyed. Great summer salad. Will definitely make this again.
