Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Vegetables
- 2 cups diced fresh pineapple (about 1 medium pineapple)
- 2 cups diced fresh mango (about 3 mangos)
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper (about 1 large red bell pepper)
- 1 cup diced red onion (about ½ large red onion)
- 1 finely diced jalapeno (stem, ribs, and seeds removed for less heat)
Herbs and Seasoning
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the diced pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, finely diced jalapeno, and chopped fresh cilantro to a large mixing bowl (4-5 quarts) to ensure ample space for mixing all the ingredients evenly.
- Season and Mix: Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice and kosher salt over the fruit and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the lime juice and salt, enhancing the flavors.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a more balanced and delicious salsa.
- Stir Before Serving: Give the salsa a good stir before serving to redistribute any juices and seasonings that may have settled during refrigeration.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno based on your heat preference; removing seeds reduces spiciness.
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes and pineapple for the best sweetness and texture.
- This salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken, tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
- For a milder variation, omit the jalapeno and increase cilantro for freshness.
