Breakfast Fruit Plate
Breakfast Fruit Plate
Plata de FrutasMexico is a country blessed with an abundance of fresh fruits year round, so the morning selections are really a treat. Artistically arranged fruit plates are served everywhere—in homes, at fondas (market stalls), and in plain and fancy hotel dining rooms, on the coast and inland. Usually, four or five kinds of fruit are peeled, sliced, and arranged on each individual plate. This recipe is just a guide. Include any tropical fruits you prefer, such as mangos, papayas, melon, or pineapple, in your plata de frutas. Oranges, grapefruit, and kiwis are also bright and tasty additions and are easy to find in the United States. Select the best fruits of the season.
