It's Spring! Time for Pineapple Salsa!

Grilled Pineapple Mango Salsa
Grilled Pineapple Mango Salsa

Two surprises greeted me at the produce department recently: Mangoes at 99 cents per pound and pineapples at 88 cents per pound. They were screaming at me as I walked by: "Buy us, please! Make us into Pineapple Mango Salsa!!!"

This is such a delightful and refreshing fruit salsa. Pineapples and mangoes are so delicious that you forget how healthy they are. Pineapple has a positive anti-inflammatory effect and aids in digestion. Mango is an antioxidant powerhouse.

This tropical style salsa is perfect for so many things - Here's just a few ideas: topping pan seared fish fillets, spooning into soft tacos and stirring into black beans for a side dish. Or, seriously, just serve with chips!

GRILLED PINEAPPLE MANGO SALSA

Makes 4 cups salsa - Prep time 20 minutes

2 cups grilled and then diced pineapple
1 mango, peeled and diced
¼ cup minced red onion
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons diced cilantro
2 to 4 pickled jalapeñ0s, diced (recipe below)
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
A few dashes Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Peel and slice pineapple into 1 inch thick planks. Spray pineapple planks with a little oil. Grill on a gas grill or grill pan until charred slightly, about 2 minutes on each side. Cool and dice and stir together with mango, red onion, green onion, cilantro and jalapeños. Stir together remaining ingredients and stir this into pineapple mixture.

Chill for at least 2 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.

    That salsa looks so fresh and pretty. Perfect grill lines on that pineapple! Was there a particular reason you didn't grill the mango too? I love grilled mango, but I can see why you might want contrast.

      Excellent suggestion, Brittany - we will try grilling the mango next time. Thanks!
