How to make pineapple mango salsa
Ingredients
- Pineapple and mango. The primary ingredients in the salsa.
- I use fresh and it makes all the difference! You can use all pineapple or all mango, if you prefer.
- Red onion. Adds a tangy crunch which contracts perfectly with the sweet pineapple and mango.
- I chop it up finely so it adds flavor and crunch but does not overpower the salsa.
- Jalapeno. Adds heat, of course!
- I also finely dice the jalapeno so I don’t get big bites of it but it adds a light heat to the salsa.
- Cilantro. If you don’t like it, simply leave it out!
- Lime. I love lots of lime in my salsa, so grab an extra one if you do, too.
Equipment
- A cutting board and chef’s knife to chop all of the produce.
- A microplane or zester to zest the lime.
- A mixing bowl and large spoon to stir everything together.
Step-by Step Instructions
- The first step is to chop the produce, and that includes the pineapple, mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime.
- Once you have this step crossed off, the salsa will come together quickly!
- Next, add everything to a bowl and stir it together.
- Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if you wish.
- Serve on grilled fish or chicken, on top of your favorite tacos, by the spoonful or my favorite – with tortilla chips!
Substitutions and Alterations
- Instead of the pineapple or mango: try with fresh peaches, nectarines, cherries, berries or for a savory salsa… tomatoes.
- If you don’t like cilantro: leave it out! Try parsley if you still want some herbaciousness.
- If you don’t like spicy food: skip the jalapeno (or use less).
- For a gluten free, dairy free and vegan version: Leave it as-is! All of the ingredients are naturally gluten free, dairy free and vegan.
