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

1. The first step is to chop the produce, and that includes the pineapple, mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime.
   1. Once you have this step crossed off, the salsa will come together quickly!
2. Next, add everything to a bowl and stir it together.
3. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if you wish.
4. 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.
