The Ingredients for Pineapple Mango Salsa

This simple pineapple mango salsa combines fruity and savory flavors, creating a delightfully sweet and salty combination using classic ingredients.

• Pineapple: You can choose fresh or canned pineapple. To make the salsa base, get 1 pineapple.

• Mangos: Ripe mangos shine in this simple salsa recipe. Two mangos enhance flavor and add vibrant color to the dish.

• Red Pepper: One red bell pepper contributes to crunch and pairs well with the fruit, enhancing its flavor.

• Jalapeño: To add mild heat, use one deseeded jalapeño. To increase spiciness, retain some seeds. Each seed makes salsa hotter.

• Red Onion: Next, add one chopped red onion. Adjust quantity to your liking.

• Cilantro: Adding ½ cup of cilantro enhances the dish with a pleasant herby flavor, providing a kick without increasing its spiciness. You can use parsley and a pinch of cumin or freshly chopped basil as a substitute.

• Limes: Your salsa is almost done, thanks to the juice from two limes! It should be approximately ¼ cup of juice, which will provide the ideal zesty taste.

• Scallions. Also known as green onion or spring onion.

• Salt: To complete the mixture, add 1 teaspoon of salt.
