Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (ripe) Pineapple
- 1 large (ripe) Mango
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and core the pineapple, then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the pineapple pieces into a large mixing bowl.
Peel the mango and slice the flesh away from the pit. Dice the mango into small chunks and add it to the bowl with the pineapple.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Dice it finely and add it to the bowl with the fruit.
Peel and dice half of a red onion into small pieces. Add the diced onion to the mixing bowl.
Remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeño pepper for a milder flavor, or leave them in for more heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro until you have about 1/2 cup. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixing bowl.
Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the mixture in the bowl.
Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together gently until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled fish or chicken, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
