Instructions:

Prepare Pineapple: Start by cutting and coring the fresh pineapple. Place the pineapple pieces in a food processor and pulse until there are no large chunks remaining. You want a finely chopped consistency.
-
Process Mango: Peel the mango and cut it into chunks. Add the mango pieces to the food processor and pulse until you achieve a smooth texture with just a few small lumps remaining.
-
Chop Veggies: Take the red sweet bell pepper, cilantro, and garlic cloves, and chop them finely. Add them to the food processor with the pineapple and mango mixture. Process until the veggies are very small, but still retain some texture. You don’t want them to become mushy.
-
Seasoning: Stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste the salsa and adjust the amount of chilies and garlic according to your preference. You can add more for extra heat or keep it mild if you prefer.
-
Serve: Transfer the Pineapple Princess Salsa to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled alongside grilled chicken, fish tacos, or as a refreshing dip with tortilla chips.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the chilies or add a dash of hot sauce.
- Make sure to taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- This salsa tastes even better when made ahead of time and allowed to marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding other tropical fruits like papaya or kiwi for extra flavor dimension.
- Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
