Mango-Pineapple Salsa
We've been seeing mangoes and pineapple at the grocery store for weeks now, but we haven’t felt tempted to buy them until recently. They’re such bright, cheery fruits that remind us of sunshine, green grass and long summer days. The weather in Pittsburgh has been anything but until this weekend. After having 10 inches of snow on Wednesday, we celebrated the first elongated day of the year yesterday with 70-degree weather. We'll take it! The nice weekend weather called for some fresh fruit. A couple of weeks ago, our Chief Culinary Consultant and we had a family dinner at his cousin’s house, and she had a mango salsa and chips for us to munch on before dinner. It was rich! On Saturday, feeling inspired by the gorgeous weather, we loaded up on mangoes and pineapple at the grocery store and made our own!
We love how incredibly fresh-tasting this salsa is… between the mango and pineapple, the bite from the red onion and jalapeño, and the pop from lime juice and cilantro, it’s an memorable combination. Not only is it fabulous, but it takes mere minutes to make. If you’re a master with the chef’s knife, you’ll have this thrown together in 10 minutes! We ate this with regular tortilla chips, although our CCC’s cousin served hers with lime-flavored tortilla chips, which were great, as well.
We're thrilled to have another salsa recipe to add to our current repertoire of restaurant-style and black bean salsa. Now that we seem to be turning the corner for summer, we're ready for some warm-weather recipes! Do you have a favorite salsa recipe? Feel free to share it below!
