Sweet and tangy with just a little bit of a kick. This pineapple mango salsa hits just right on a summer day. Delicious!

Ingredients

Scale

1 Mango.

1 1/2 c. Fresh Pineapple.

1 Kiwi.

2 Roma Tomatoes.

1/2 Red Bell Pepper.

1/4 Green Bell Pepper.

1/4 Yellow Bell Pepper.

1 Jalapeño.

1/8 c. Onion.

1/2 Bunch Cilantro.

Juice of 2 Limes.

1 tsp. Tajin.

Instructions

  1. Rinse all produce with cool water.
  2. Begin cutting up the fruit and dump them into a medium sized serving or mixing bowl. First, core the pineapple and remove the skin before dicing. Peel the kiwi and dice. Then, carefully peel the mango and cut the flesh into large chunks, separating it from the pit inside, before dicing it, as well.
  3. Dice up the bell peppers and add them to the bowl.
  4. Next, slice the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds, and rinse lightly. Dice the jalapeño finely to evenly distribute the heat throughout the salsa.
  5. Finely dice the onion.
  6. Now, when it comes to the cilantro, its up to you how you would like it. If you don't care for the stems, remove the leaves and discard the stems before chopping. Otherwise, just bulk cut the stems right at the start of the leaves and chop up the stems and leaves together. (Normally, I'll just do the latter.) A cutting board full of chopped and diced fruits and vegetables for a yummy tropical island salsa!
  7. Juice the limes, then, pour the juice into the bowl.
  8. Last of all, add 1 teaspoon of Tajin. Please do not skip this, if at all possible. It is the ingredient that really knocks this salsa out of the park! Just a note if this is a seasoning you are unfamiliar with: you should be able to pick this up in the Mexican foods section of your grocery store.
  9. Using a large spoon, begin gently mixing the ingredients together.
  10. When all the ingredients appear to be evenly distributed, cover and refrigerate for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  11. Remove from the refrigerator, give it a final stir, and serve immediately!

Storage Recommendations

  • Refrigerate leftovers: Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container and refrigerate it. It will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days.
  • Use glass containers: opt for glass containers rather than plastic ones, as glass helps retain the freshness and flavor of the salsa.
  • I haven't tried freezing this myself, so it would be up to you if you wanted to experiment with that to see how it holds up. I'm guessing the texture would be different. (If you do try freezing this, let me know how it turns out!)
