And one of the best recipes in that recipe box was from my mom’s friend for this Pineapple Mango Salsa.

Tips for Making the BEST Fruit Salsa
- Be sure to dice pineapple and mango into small pieces to make the Pineapple Salsa easier to scoop up with chips.
- To control the heat of this fruit salsa, be sure to remove seeds and ribs from jalapeno.
- Wear plastic gloves while chopping the jalapeno or wash your hands well after handling to protect your skin and eyes from the juice from the pepper.
- A pro tip to juicing limes is to microwave for 30 seconds, then roll on the counter. Use a juicer or a hand held kitchen mixer attachment to juice the lime.
- The salt is a must to bring out all the flavors in this pineapple mango salsa.
