sweet and spicy chili-lime fruit salad

Use fruit that is seasonal for this tropical fruit salad with some zip! I use frozen mango - always handy and no stone. NOTE: mango contains small amounts of urushiol, the same irritant as in poison ivy. Some people (like my daughter) break out in a rash if they handle mango skin, yet eating the fruit doesn't bother them!
