How do I make pineapple mango salsa?
Making this salsa recipe is quite simple. Here’s what you do:
- Start by chopping the pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, oranges, green onions, red onion and cilantro. Ingredients will need to be chopped somewhat finely. All of these ingredients go directly into a mixing bowl.
- Top the ingredients with the juice and zest of a lime, and white vinegar. The acidity of the lime juice and vinegar will act as a natural preservative keeping the fruit fresh and prevent it from browning.
Ingredient substitutions and recommendations:
Here are a few ingredient substitutions and recommendations when making this salsa recipe:
- Pineapple – if you’re unable to find fresh pineapple, a good substitute is frozen pineapple. In a pinch you can also use canned pineapple, however it will be softer.
- Mango – most grocery stores carry frozen mango in the frozen fruit section. This is a good substitute for fresh mango.
- Canned mandarin oranges – you can also use fresh clementines or navel oranges that have been peeled. I use canned mandarin oranges in my Mandarin Orange Jello Salad.
- Red bell pepper – you can also use an orange, yellow or green bell pepper.
- Cilantro – I know some people do not prefer cilantro, so feel free to omit from the recipe.
- Spices – this recipe doesn’t call for any spices, however, if you want to add some spice, try adding a bit of chili powder or cumin. (1/2 tsp or less)

Pineapple mango salsa ingredients include fresh pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, mandarin oranges, red onion, green onion, cilantro, juice and zest of a lime and white vinegar.
There is approximately 53 calories in a 1/2 cup serving of fresh, homemade pineapple mango salsa.
Yes. Homemade pineapple mango salsa is much better for you than jarred, store-bought salsa. Most processed, store-bought jarred pineapple mango salsas include a significant amount of refined sugar and extra calories. Homemade salsa recipes only include fruit, and don’t need extra processed sugar.
The flavors of this salsa are wonderful! The lime juice brings all of the fresh, fruity flavors together, and the crunch of the pepper and onions add the perfect texture to this salsa.
