Pineapple Mango Salsa

Tuesday, September 1, 2015


Even though I have a crazy busy week, I just have to share this with you guys!

Tonight I am attending a Hawaiian Luau to celebrate the end of summer and to get together with 10 amazing people we vacationed with in Hawaii last February. So to keep things in the tropical theme, I made this delicious Pineapple Mango Salsa. 

It is SO good! Sweet + Heat = Amazing Treat! The sweet mango and pineapple just take this salsa over the top! It's not too hot, but it you like it that way feel free to add more jalapeƱos. This is super easy to make! And the presentation makes it seem much fancier than just plain ol' salsa. Who wouldn't love to dip out of cute pineapple boats?!? 

Just look at this...



It's so colorful and it's bursting with flavor! Is your mouth watering yet?


Okay...I won't torture you and make you wait any longer, here's the recipe :)


Ingredients:

  • 1 Large Pineapple
  • 2 Mangoes
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 3 Small Limes
  • 5-8 Tomatoes
  • 1 Chile Pepper
  • 1 JalapeƱo
  • 1 Bunch Cilantro
  • 2 Medium Red Onions
  • Salt & Pepper

Directions:

  1. Wash your produce thoroughly
  2. Cut the pineapple in half all the way through the green top and carefully cut out the core and discard it *I angle my knife inwards and slice down each side of the core, making a triangle, and then pull the core out
  3. Carefully cut out the rest of the pineapple making sure not to cut all the way through the sides or bottom. It won't make a very good boat if it leaks ;) *I also use a spoon a gently scrape the bottom until it's smooth 
  4. Put the chopped up pineapple into a large glass bowl
  5. Chop mangoes and tomatoes into bite size pieces and add to the bowl *Here's is a link that shows you how to peel a mango FAST! This is the only way I do it :)
  6. Dice up peppers, onions and cilantro
  7. Add the juice from the limes 
  8. Add salt & pepper to taste
  9. Stir everything together
  10. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight 
  11. When you're ready to eat, add some of the salsa into the the pineapple boats, serve with tortilla chips, and ENJOY :)





Let me know if you make this and what you think :)
