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.
- 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)
