Refreshing Pineapple Mango Salsa

Modified: Jan 10, 2024 · Published: Jun 3, 2021 · by Ramona

Jump to Recipe

This beautiful pineapple salsa in a pineapple is definitely a must-make recipe. It is sweet and can be made a bit spicy if you choose to. Most of all it is bursting with fresh summery flavour - I could easily eat this whole recipe at once. It is seriously good and so refreshing as a side to any meat or fish.

This pineapple mango salsa recipe requires bare minimum preparation. Just a little chop, chop, and it's done!

Ingredients needed for pineapple mango salsa

  • pineapple ( grilled pineapple or fresh pineapple is as good)
  • mango
  • strawberries
  • red onion
  • fresh herbs (I have used fresh mint and fresh chives)
  • lime juice
  • lime zest - chose unwaxed organic lime otherwise I would level the zest out
  • lemon juice
  • lemon zest - same as the lime - these must be organic unwaxed lemons to use the rind

Other ingredients that might be used in this salsa dish

  • spring onion or scallions
  • jalapeños or any hot peppers - for a nice kick ( use disposable gloves when handling those)
  • cucumbers
  • any other color peppers
  • celery
  • cilantro or coriander
  • pears
  • avocado
  • corn (make a corn salsa)
  • other herbs you may like such as basil, thyme, and tarragon- all depending on what you pair them with

How to make pineapple salsa in a pineapple

  • Dice it nicely! Make sure to dice your ingredients (pineapple, mangos strawberries, and the onion) finely - small bits are a lot easier to spoon but this will also allow the flavors to blend in nicely together. Mmmmm. perfection!
  • Don't forget to add salt! A dash of salt will definitely pull out the sweetness from the pineapple and mango in this amazingly super fresh and delicious fruit salsa - you will not feel it but will definitely give a nice definition to this pineapple mango salsa!
  • Allow it to come together. This salsa is fresh and delicious and it will definitely benefit from allowing it some time ( one or a couple of hours) for the flavors to blend in and 'marinade' so that flavors will really come together. Store in an airtight container or a glass bowl covered with cling film - keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Served cool it's the absolute best!

This is an easy fresh fruit salsa and it comes together in no time. No special equipment is needed either!

All you will need is:

  • a sharp ceramic knife - always good in the kitchen but when chopping fruit and veg is particularly good to have a good sharp knife;
  • chopping board ( go for a flexible one if you have one, it will be a lot easier to save all the fruit juices to add those to the salsa- remember we are all for @nofoodwaste). Nothing gets wasted ever even a simple juice.
  • Glass bowl - all fruits are quite acidic (pineapple particularly) it is always a good practice to avoid using any metal as much as possible.

Is pineapple good to eat after meals?

• Eating a slice of fresh pineapple every day is a great idea as it can defend our body from free radicals (nasty cells that make us look old) helping with cleansing the organs and blood, increasing our energy, and giving our metabolism a little boost. Pineapple nourishes our skin, nails, hair, and teeth, oh, and it tastes great too!
• Pineapple is in the Bromeliaceae family and it contains an enzyme called bromelain, a protein that splits enzymes which aids digestion and makes it a lot easier for the pancreas. Ideally is to be served uncooked as the bromelain levels will go down once cooked. Maybe a little grilling just as suggested in this recipe - it will also help with the tongue stingy sensation.

  • 1 small chilli/jalapeno optional
  • 1 pinch salt I used pink Himalayan
  • 1 pinch black pepper freshly fround

Instructions

Tip:
  • Since this recipe only uses ½ pineapple, you may wrap the other half ( skin on) refrigerated and use later for smoothies, salad or a snack) - it will be good and stay fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge. 
  • Make this salsa at least ½ hour or one hour prior to serving it and refrigerate (serve it really cool) for the best flavours.
