How to make Pineapple Mango Salsa
Chopping is like therapy to me. But it has to be with a big ol’ Chef’s knife. The best way to cut these ingredients, especially the pineapple with its thick outer core is with a sharp knife.
Chop all ingredients really small.
Can I use canned pineapple?
Since the pineapple is the star of this dish I highly recommend you do not use canned pineapple. Using real fresh pineapple will make all the difference.
How to cut a mango
Cutting mango is really simple, once you have discover how to do it!
- Standing the the mango with its stem up cut down the two sides that are long.

- Using a large spoon scoop out the mango- it will be perfectly chopped for you!
How you do you know when a mango is ripe?
A mango is best when it is soft and a firm tender, but not mushy.
