Notes
Fresh Mangos: The star of this dish is the mango. Learn how to dice a mango to get those perfect chunks. When looking for a ripe mango it should be slightly soft to the touch but still firm. If the mango is very firm, wait a few days before using it.
Frozen Mangoes: Frozen can be used in place of fresh. Just allow the fruit to thaw before making.
Fresh Lime Juice: Use fresh lime juice if possible in the salsa. Concentrate will just not turn out the same.
Spicy - Make it a spicy pineapple mango salsa by adding in a finely diced jalapeño and a little bit of cayenne to give it a kick.
Grilled: Want more of those BBQ flavors in this salsa? Consider grilling the mango and the pineapple before dicing it up.
