Ingredients for Pineapple Mango Salsa
- Mango: Fresh mangos work better in this recipe.
- Pineapple: I used canned pineapple chunks and dice them.
- Red Bell Pepper: Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and finely dice.
- Red Onion: I prefer the flavor of red onion, but you can also use a sweet yellow onion if you prefer.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro is a must in fresh salsa.
- Lime Juice: This recipe calls for fresh lime juice, but you can also use lime juice from a bottle if that what you have on hand.
- Pineapple Juice: Use the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple chunks.
- Salt: Add more or less to taste.
How to make Pineapple mango salsa
- In a small to a medium serving bowl add diced mangos, pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.
- Stir in lime juice, pineapple juice, and salt. Mix ingredients well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
How to choose a mango
For the mango salsa, you want to look for mangos that are ripe, but still quite firm so that they will keep their shape in the salsa. Choose mangos that have a slight give when you squeeze them. The riper the fruit, the softer it will be. Therefore, if you choose really ripe mangos, you will end up with a mushy salsa.
How to cut a mango
The easiest way to peel a mango is to peel the skin off with a potato peeler and make a cut on each side of the pit. You will end up with 4 slabs of mango. Dice the mango and add it to your salsa.
Tips for the best salsa
- Make sure to finely dice fruit and vegetables so that the salsa can easily be scooped with chips.
- This recipe works best with fresh mango. I like to look for ripe mangos that are still a little bit firm.
- If you prefer a spicier salsa, you can add 1 small jalapeno.
- This salsa is great served with tortilla chips, over grilled fish or chicken, or with shrimp tacos.
