Ingredients
  

1 medium ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced into uniform pieces

2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced for consistency

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped to enhance texture

1 small red onion, finely chopped for a subtle bite

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped for a burst of freshness

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for those who enjoy some heat)

Juice of 2 limes, freshly squeezed for zesty flavor

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Salt, to taste for seasoning

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste for seasoning

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, start by combining the diced pineapple and mango. Ensure all fruit pieces are of similar size to allow for an even distribution of flavors in every bite.

    Next, introduce the finely chopped red bell pepper and red onion into the bowl. This will bring a delightful crunch and vibrant color to your salsa.

      If you prefer a touch of spice, add the minced jalapeño now. Feel free to adjust the amount depending on how much heat you desire.

        Fold in the chopped cilantro, which will provide a fresh, herbaceous flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruit.

          Squeeze the juice of the two limes over the mixture. This not only infuses a zesty punch but also helps maintain the bright colors of your salsa.

            For those who like a hint of sweetness, drizzle in a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup — especially useful if your fruits aren't overly ripe.

              Season the salsa with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently stir the mixture to combine, being careful not to mash the fruit.

                Allow your salsa to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill it in the refrigerator for an hour. This resting period will enable the flavors to blend and intensify beautifully.

                  Serve your Tropical Bliss Salsa with crispy tortilla chips, grilled fish, or as a zesty topping for tacos. Dive into the tropical flavors and enjoy!
