This mango pineapple salsa is so easy to make, so refreshing, and really healthy, too! My family loves this salsa. With under 10 ingredients, it comes together quickly and is a delicious appetizer to serve alongside vegan queso dip with tortilla chips, and you can’t forget to pop this on top of burrito bowls or tacos! 

Ingredients 

Here is a quick rundown of what ingredients you’ll need to make this Mango Pineapple Salsa recipe. See the recipe card for the exact measurements. 

• Tomatoes: I love adding tomatoes to this salsa, especially in the summer when the tomatoes are the best! Try to use smaller, sweet tomatoes to compliment the sweetness of the mango and pineapple. 
• Mango: Fresh mango is the best for this salsa. Frozen mango will also work, just make sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the salsa. 
• Pineapple: Fresh or canned pineapple work great in this recipe. You can even grill the pineapple rings for some extra smoky, caramelized flavor! If using canned, make sure to drain and pat the pineapple dry as canned pineapple can have excess liquid. 
• Red Onion + Red Pepper: The onion and pepper give this salsa a tangy taste and a crunchy texture. 
• Lime: I recommend using fresh lime juice for this dish. You can use either limes or key limes for an even sweeter touch! You can use lime juice from a bottle in a pinch. 
• Jalapeño Peppers (optional): This adds a little heat to the salsa. I like to use pickled jalapeño peppers for that tang that pickled veggies gives. Use the seeds or remove them to adjust for your own preferred heat level.  
• Fresh Cilantro: You can use dried if needed, just use a teaspoon. 
• Sea Salt + Pepper to taste 

Instructions 

Making this salsa is as easy as 1, 2, 3! 

1. Add the ingredients. Into a large bowl, add the chopped tomatoes, pineapple, mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt + pepper. 
2. Mix. Stir this together until you thoroughly combine the ingredients. 
3. Serve. Serve this either immediately or let it rest for 30 minutes to combine flavors. Enjoy! 

Tip! I don’t recommend using a food processor for this recipe. I find that my tomatoes especially get pulverized and don’t retain that chunkiness. However, if you like a more blended salsa, feel free to use a food processor. 

What to serve with mango pineapple salsa? 

• As an appetizer: One of the easiest methods for serving this salsa is as an appetizer with your favorite tortilla chips.
• Tacos + Burrito Bowls: There is no better combination (in my opinion) than this salsa on top of a burrito bowl or on top of a tofu taco. 
• Rice Bowls: Add a few spoonfuls of this salsa to your favorite rice + veggie bowls for a refreshing pop!

How to Store + Make Ahead 

This fresh fruit salsa is the perfect recipe to make at the beginning of the week and enjoy with multiple meals. 

• Make Ahead: make this recipe up to 24 hours in advance. The flavors will blend together the longer it rests. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve. 
• Store: Transfer any leftover salsa into an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. When ready to serve, give it a quick stir and taste for seasoning. Another pinch of salt may be necessary as fruit salsa tends to lose salt in longer storage.
