Pineapple Mango Salsa

I'm trying to expand my horizons. Salsa has always been tomato based and spicy. So I thought the tuna steaks needed a change of pace. A fruit salsa. The basic recipe is from tasteofhome.com. I used chopped red onion to replace the green onion I was out of and otherwise had no changes.

Rating: 8.5 Taste 9 Work 8. I had way too much cilantro in this due to other recipes. The original recipe was more reasonable and is reflected in the ingredients. With this change taste goes to 9.4 and overall to 8.9

Note: Lots of knife time on this. You will see how good you really are. I took me about 15 minutes but I still have my fingers.

If you don't know how to cut a mango, you can not just jump in and do it. Here is one LINK but there are many others. Chop the pineapple and mango into about 1/4 inch pieces for better chip dipping. Chop the jalapeno into very fine pieces.

Tools: Very good sharp knife

Ingredients:

1 mango chopped 1/4 inch and peeled

1/2 fresh pineapple chopped 1/4 inch

1/2 diced red pepper 1/4 inch

1 Roma tomato cored and seeded

1/2 small red onion chipped finely

1 jalapeno cored and seeded chopped very finely

2 T line juice

1 T lemon juice

3 T chopped cilantro

Instructions:

Chop away then mix everything. Refrigerate for at least one hour prior to serving.
