Notes
Tips for making this Pineapple Mango Salsa
- Make sure to cut in small pieces – You need small pieces to be able to scoop this up with chips! Try to dice your fruits/veggies in small tiny squares.
- Allow the salsa to sit before serving– This salsa is fine to eat as soon as you make it, but it’s even better if you let it sit for about an hour in the fridge + allow the flavors to meld together!
- Wash your hands thoroughly after making it-Especially after cutting the jalapeño! It seems like a silly thing to note, but you have to be careful when cooking with them!
WW Freestyle Note: You can make this 0SP by skipping the oil or just using a tiny bit of olive oil spray. It isn’t necessary for the salsa but does add a nice richness and let the flavors come together
