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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the pineapple, then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the pineapple pieces into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper. Dice it finely and add it to the bowl with the fruit.

Step 4

Peel and dice half of a red onion into small pieces. Add the diced onion to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Chop the fresh cilantro until you have about 1/2 cup. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixing bowl.

Step 7

Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the mixture in the bowl.

Step 8

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together gently until well combined.

Step 9

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper, if desired.

Step 10

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.
