Best Mango and Pineapple Salsa

Best Mango and Pineapple Salsa

Easy, flavorful, refreshing Mango, and Pineapple salsa! Serve it with tortilla chips or fish. Or just eat it by itself as a snack.

When I use red onion in salsa and other salad recipes, I like to mince or thinly slice the onion, salt it, and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. It will soften the onion and give a little salty flavor. Squeeze it to release its juices.

Another trick: I always buy canned mango too; in case the fresh mango is not ripe enough.

I love using mango and pineapple (in green smoothies too) because they are low in calories and packed with nutrients, Vitamin C, antioxidants, and immune-boosting vitamins. And they taste amazing!

Ingredients:

1 small red onion

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon minced fresh jalapeno

1 clove of minced garlic

2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

2 cups chopped fresh pineapple

2 cups chopped mango

½ cup chopped red or orange bell pepper

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (or parsley)

Instructions:

1. Mince the red onion, salt it, and let it sit for 15-30 minutes.

2. While you are waiting, add the jalapeno, garlic, and lime juice into a bowl. Chop the mango, pineapple, and bell pepper.

3. Squeeze the red onion a bit to release its juices and add to the bowl.

4. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. You can serve immediately or refrigerate.

Kid-friendly version: mix the chopped mango, pineapple, and bell pepper with a little bit of lime juice.

To Your Health! Enjoy!
