Chef’s Notes:
Just a few notes for this recipe, red bell pepper is in the photo but was accidently omitted from the recipe. Generally, this is an optional ingredient but it would add more color contrast if included.
Also, be sure to cut the mango and pineapple into small pieces. Another thing is jalapenos are totally optional if you want to control the heat. Lastly, strawberries, peaches, tomato or avocado would also work in this salsa.
