Ingredients

  • 4 ripe mangoes or papayas, peeled and cut lengthwise into spears
  • 1 teaspoon dried ancho-chili powder or cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt

Directions

  1. Place fruit upright in cups. Arrange chili powder and salt in dishes. Sprinkle some over fruit, serving the rest on the side.

Cook's Note

Choose mangoes or papayas that are ripe, but not too soft. Either a sharp paring knife or a vegetable peeler work well for peeling the fruits.
