Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe pineapple (chopped)
- 1 ripe mango (chopped)
- ½ red bell pepper (diced)
- ½ red onion (diced)
- 1 jalapeno (chopped)
- ¼ cup cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (½ lime)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar (OPTIONAL)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the salsa ingredients.
- Toss to combine.
- Taste and adjust as needed.
- For the best flavor, chill the salsa in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
- Enjoy with corn chips, tortilla chips or on top of tacos.
Notes
If you have fruit that is not ripe, brown sugar is a great way to sweeten up the salsa. Taste the salsa at the end and decide whether or not to add it.
Using Frozen Fruit
Thaw the fruit and use it as normal. Look for bigger frozen chunks to thaw. They seem to be easier to chop. Smaller pieces will become mushy.
Adjusting the Heat
- To reduce the heat and to make a milder salsa: Omit the jalapeno and add ½ cup more of mango. Or, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or a splash of pineapple juice.
- To increase the heat: Make the salsa recipe as written below. Taste it, then decide whether you want more heat. If you still want it spicier, then add 1 more jalapeno or use serrano peppers.
