Summer is here, and it’s time to celebrate the fresh fruits and vegetables of the season!

When the weather heats up, we love switching out our regular year-round pico de gallo and restaurant-style salsa for this pineapple mango salsa.

🍍🥭 Ingredient notes

Tomatoes – Tomatoes are a traditional salsa ingredient, and they’re great for added color in this fruit-based salsa. The tomatoes also soak up the lime juice, garlic, and ginger as well as the pineapple does, and the flavor complements tropical fruits so well.

Mango – The mango adds another layer of exotic flavor to this salsa. And, the sweetness of the mango helps balance the tartness that can come with the puckery pineapple taste.

Pineapple – Chunks of pineapple are not only in the salsa, the hollowed-out pineapple rind acts as a serving bowl as well!

Ginger – This adds a subtle spiciness.

Lime juice – For some bright zestiness.

✅ Step-by-step instructions

Now let’s discuss just how EASY this pineapple mango salsa is to put together.

1. Chop the pineapple, mango, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and cilantro.
2. Toss together and serve.

SO ridiculously easy, right? That means you’ll have extra time on your hands to fancy up the presentation!

🍍 Fun serving ideas

I love using hollowed out fruit that is used in a dish as a serving dish itself. Some fruits lend themselves easily to this: cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew and, of course, pineapple.

If you want to use the pineapple for the salsa itself, cut the pineapple in half, and then use a knife to carefully cut out the inside without cutting through the sides or bottom of the pineapple. Then you can use the pineapple for the salsa and use the hollowed out pineapple as a serving bowl for the salsa. 

🍽 What to serve with this pineapple mango salsa

We love serving this salsa with tortilla chips. But it would also go well alongside Grilled Pineapple Chicken, Cider Grilled Chicken.

You can also substitute it for the slaw in these Teriyaki Turkey Burgers.

🍹Drink pairings for pineapple mango salsa

Serve this summer salsa with a refreshing, cool Yuzu Margarita, Prickly Pear Margarita, or a tasty Pineapple mocktail!

👧🏻🧒🏻 How kids can help make this recipe

Here are some of the tasks that kids can help you with to make this recipe:

• Little kids: younger kids who aren’t yet skilled at chopping can help measure out the ingredients after you chop them. They can also help stir the ingredients all together.
  
• Older kids: older children who have been taught safe knife skills can carefully chop the mango, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, and ginger. The pineapple can be trickier to chop, so it’s a job best left for adults or high school/college age kids.
  
• Kids of all ages: can help pick the cilantro leaves off the stems and discard the stems, and they can add the lime juice. They can also help toss all ingredients together in a large bowl.

Be sure to carefully supervise your kids in the kitchen as they learn these cooking skills!
