Tropical Pineapple Mango Salsa is vibrant and refreshing. The exotic tropical flavours are perfectly balanced.
Grilled pineapple, juicy mango, and a touch of Jamaican rum create a delightful Caribbean fruit salsa. Great as a summer appetizer. Perfect for fish tacos.
Fresh fruit is so delicious. Simple ingredients that pack a flavour punch. Berry season is my favourite by far. If you have never tried strawberry salsa with feta, you are really missing out. The perfect summer appetizer that doubles as a dessert too.
Have you tried grilled fruit? If not, you are in for a treat. Fresh fruit cooked on the bbq is so easy and delicious, exploding with a sweet, juicy, and smoky flavour.
Stuffed Avocado Boats make the perfect appetizer. For grilled fruit desserts, Balsamic Strawberries, Grilled Plums, and Smoked Apples are great choices.
If you have been to the Caribbean, you know all the wonderful flavours the islands have to offer. That fresh, juicy, sweet fruit is so inviting. This easy salsa recipe is the closest I can get to exotic island flavours.

Making This Tropical Fruit Salsa Is Easy
This chunky salsa is so easy to prepare. The hardest part is prepping the fruit (if you call that hard). Full instructions are in the recipe card below.

Mangos have always been sort of a mystery to me. I know they come in different varieties, and from my Jamaican friends, I am told some are way better than others. The mystery to me has been “how do you get the pit out”?
Suggestions/Recipe Tips
Pineapple can be grilled, or raw. I prefer the texture and flavour of the grilled pineapple in this summer salsa recipe.
Fresh mangos are so delicious. Frozen mangos are a great alternative.
Diced pepper can be red, yellow or orange. If you are not a fan of peppers, you can leave them out.
What is ginger juice? Super easy to make. All you have to do is grate fresh ginger using a microplane. Collect the pulp and squeeze. Fresh ginger juice in seconds.
Rum can be any variety you like. White or amber will work. I used Jamaican rum.
Leftovers will last for several days in the fridge. Best if kept in a sealed container. Alternatively, you can freeze this tropical salsa for up to 2 months. To use, thaw in the fridge. The texture will be softer, and the flavours will be milder. Perfect for adding to yogurt, pancakes, waffles and ice cream.
Serve this refreshing summer salsa as an appetizer with nacho chips. The perfect salsa for fish tacos. A great addition to any chicken, seafood or pork dish.
This homemade tropical salsa is sure to please. The fusion of flavours will make you feel like you are in the Caribbean. A must for summer parties.
