Fresh Pineapple Mango Salsa
If you know me personally, you know that I love to layer flavors on all my food. Whether it’s ice cream, tacos, or burrito bowls, I’m a huge fan of piling on different flavors and textures.
That’s why I love dishes like this pineapple and mango salsa recipe. It’s an easy way to add tons of sweet, tropical flavor to savory dishes like salmon, tortilla chips, pork chops, or shrimp tacos.
How to Make It

- Drizzle with fresh lime juice, then add the salt.
- Stir to combine, and add more lime juice and salt if desired.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips
- Cut all the ingredients, except the onion, to a uniform size. Chopping ingredients to the same size ensures that you’ll get a little bit of everything in each bite. Dice the red onion a bit smaller since it’s strong and can overpower the other flavors.
- Use ripe ingredients. Make sure the mango and pineapple are ripe, so, you’ll get sweet, flavorful salsa. Using unripened fruit yields a bland salsa that lacks flavor.
- Make it spicier! For an extra kick, add more jalapeño peppers or a serrano pepper.
- Adjust the ingredients. If you like more mango than pineapple, reduce the pineapple and add more mango. If you want more lime juice, add it! This salsa is super versatile.
- Omit the cilantro. If you aren’t a fan of fresh cilantro, omit it or swap it with fresh parsley.
- Add bell peppers. Orange or red bell pepper add a pop color and a savory flavor.
