Avocado Fruit Salad with Lemonade Dressing

This fruit salad, seasoned with lime juice and chili powder, was inspired by the fresh fruit on a stick sold on the streets of Mexico. The savory-sweet combination, tied together with a tangy lemonade dressing, makes for a refreshing mid-day snack that’s packed with health.
