Pineapple Mango Salsa

My first experience with Pineapple Mango Salsa will never be forgotten. It was at a small beach-side restaurant. I liked how sweet, tangy, and spicy it was! The only problem was that I wanted to make it myself and I had no idea how to.

Fast forward to today, and my kids love Pineapple Mango Salsa. It’s my go-to recipe whenever they want something delicious, and I want to make sure they’re eating their fruits and veggies!

Why You Should Make Pineapple Mango Salsa

This salsa is not only tasty and fresh but also works well with everything. It’s a must-have no matter if you eat it straight, scoop it with chips, or pour it over grilled chicken.

My favorite is the combination of the sweet pineapple, spicy jalapeño, and zesty lime. I promise, after you try this, you will want to always have a serving in the refrigerator.

How To Make Pineapple Mango Salsa

Step 1:

Prepare your pineapple and mango by cutting them into small pieces.

Step 2:

Chop the onion, jalapeno, and cilantro finely.

Step 3:

Mix everything thoroughly in a bowl.

Step 4:

Add salt and pepper to taste before adding lime juice.

Step 5:

Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors mix up well.

Storing Leftovers

In case you have leftovers in your fridge, make sure you seal them airtight. Salsa remains fresh for two to three days after being prepared. For some reason, it may lump together, so stir it quickly.

Tips for the best Salsa

• Try and use ripe fruit as it will make the salsa taste much nicer!
• The longer you leave it in the fridge the nicer it will taste as the flavors sit together.
• Try to add a little bit of jalapeno at the start so you can easily adjust the spiciness of the salsa.

What Should I Pair Pineapple Mango Salsa With?

You can eat this salsa with anything. You can dip tortilla chips in it, and it goes great with grilled chicken, shrimp, and Jerk Chicken Quesadilla. 

For a twist, I even put it on top of rice bowls and burgers. If you want to make it even better, try it with coconut rice for the ultimate combination.
