    I am very excited to see the first fresh mangoes of the season - so, naturally, I made some fresh pineapple mango salsa - one of my favorite ways to eat mangoes! While it's great as-is, as a light snack, it's also great when served atop a fish, grilled chicken, or pork.  Great Summer recipe!

    Why make pineapple mango salsa

    • The flavors of tropical fruit and veggies mingle really well in this recipe. You combine both tropical fruit (mango and pineapples) and vegetables (cherry tomatoes and bell peppers) together in this dish.  Sweet and savory tastes so good together!
    • Lime juice, salt and pepper provide just enough seasoning to the salsa to bring out all the right flavors.
    • Add just a touch of spice. Sometimes it's nice to have some extra spice or extra heat, and I occasionally like to add a touch of red chili powder, cayenne pepper and/or cajun seasoning to my salsa to spice it up. I list those spices as OPTIONAL under my recipe instructions, as the recipe is just as good without them, too.
    • This recipe is so versatile!   It works as an appetizer, side dish or a salad.
    • This pineapple mango salsa is healthy, vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan recipe.

      Yum, this is delish! Followed the recipe exactly (including the optional heat!), but used only about 1/2 a pepper. Served it with salmon burgers, then enjoyed it for a couple of lunches. It was great!

      Love this! Also works well with cucumbers instead of pineapple. Have used radishes instead of peppers. It all works beautifully. I made enough for a week of lunches and it was great to the last spoonful!
