Ingredients & Substitutions

Pineapple- Fresh pineapple gives the salsa the best flavor and a bright, vibrant color. If fresh pineapple isn’t available, canned pineapple can also be used. To choose a ripe pineapple, look for one that smells sweet at the base, has a green and yellow color, and gives slightly when pressed.

Mango- Choose a mango that gives slightly when pressed. A ripe mango will add natural sweetness and a juicy texture to the salsa.

Bell Pepper – Red bell peppers add beautiful color and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Yellow or orange bell peppers work well too.

Onion- Red onions provide a vibrant color and mild flavor. White or sweet onions can be used instead.

Cilantro- If you don’t enjoy cilantro, you can simply leave it out.

Jalapeño- Jalapeño adds a little heat to the salsa. Removing the seeds keeps the spice level mild. Keep some seeds if you prefer more heat.

Salt- Salt brings out and balances all the fresh flavors. Add it according to your taste.
