Ingredients
  

For the Salsa:
  • 3 cups pineapple diced into 1/4-inch chunks
  • 2 cups mango diced into 1/4-inch chunks
  • 1/3 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
  • 1 each jalapeño pepper minced (seeds discarded)
  • 1 each lime zested and juiced
  • 2 tsp. olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Citrus juicer
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the pineapple and mango into 1/4-inch chunks, finely dice the red onion, and coarsely chop the cilantro. Mince the jalapeño after discarding the seeds for less heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, red onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
  3. Zest the lime, then juice it, and add both to the bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil (or avocado oil) and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  4. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
  5. For the best flavor, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
  • This salsa is versatile! Use it as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse in a food processor.
