Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 small (peeled, cored, and diced) Pineapple
- 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) Mango
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium (finely diced) Red onion
- 1 small (finely minced, seeds removed for less heat) Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 large (juiced) Lime
- 2 tablespoons Golden rum
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the pineapple and mango. Peel, core, and dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized chunks. Peel, pit, and dice the mango into chunks of similar size.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and finely dice half of the red onion. For the jalapeño, remove the seeds if you prefer mild salsa, and finely mince the pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Juice the lime and pour the freshly squeezed juice over the salsa ingredients. Add the golden rum for a splash of island flavor.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Cover the salsa and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Caribbean salsa chilled with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled fish, or alongside shrimp tacos for a tropical twist!
