One of my favorite snacks is chips and salsa. It is so easy and oh so flavorful. I love this bright and refreshing version on those warm days. Or try it alongside one of these yummy meals: Easy Red Enchiladas, Chicken Tortilla Casserole, or Pork Tamale Casserole.

Our Favorite Sweet Salsa

While warm days may not be my favorite, one thing I do love is all of the no-bake, no-cook recipes I get to make. You’ve probably seen me post a few already. I’m talking salads, pasta salads, ice cream, dips/spreads, finger food, no-bake pies, and anything that can be tossed on the grill.

This salsa is another of those quick and refreshing favorites. It reminds me of a salsa I really loved back in college. There were two Mexican restaurants that were always competing against each other, and what really set the one apart was their sweet mango pineapple salsa. It was divine! Delicious on top of their sweet pulled pork, chicken or even with chips!

I can still taste those nachos I would get and man were they GOOD! ? Simple, flavorful and incredibly delicious!

How to Make Pineapple Salsa

Todayā€™s recipe for pineapple mango salsa is perfect for warm sunny days. Thereā€™s absolutely NO cooking or roasting involved.

Simply chop pineapple, mango, onion, cilantro

Add some lime juice and zest, a pinch or two of salt

Itā€™s good to go!

**The only thing about this salsa is that it needs to be eaten within an hour or so of making it. Otherwise the pineapple begins to brown. That definitely shouldnā€™t be a problem, because this salsa is absolutely delicious, and Iā€™m sure it will be gone in no time!

Recipe Tips

Other additions: You can add in other summer fruit like fresh peaches, chunks of ripe and creamy avocado, or even some corn.

Can you use canned pineapple? Canned pineapple isnā€™t ideal because it doesnā€™t have that same delicious and fresh taste. If you are in the time crunch it may work, just make sure that you use fresh mango so that at least something in the salsa is fresh.

How to lessen the spice level? You can add less jalapeno or even add a bit of honey to the salsa to give it a bit of sweetness to even out the spiciness. 

How do you tell when a mango is ripe? A ripe mango will have a bit of give when you squeeze it. It wonā€™t be mushy, but it wonā€™t be hard as a stone either.

Storing Tips + More

STORE this salsa in the fridge in an airtight container so that there is less of a chance for the pineapple to brown as quickly.

Can you freeze it? You can freeze this salsa for up to 3 months. Just be aware that when salsa like that thaws out it will be more watery than firm.

How long does it last? This will only last about 3 days in the fridge because of the fresh fruit that you use.

What to serve this on? Pineapple mango salsa works well with chicken, pork, and beef. It would go great with our Spicy Shredded Pork, Instant Pot Salsa Chicken, or on our Tacos al Pastor.
