If you saw this grilled chicken recipe here on A Family Feast last month, then you may recognize today’s delicious recipe for Pineapple Mango Salsa!
Since we posted that earlier recipe, we’ve been making this tropical-inspired salsa again and again – and it is SO good that we felt it was worthy of it’s own post.
This Pineapple Mango Salsa is made from a mix of fresh, diced pineapple and mango, red bell pepper, red onion, plus a little bit of jalapeño for some gentle heat. Then the fruit and vegetables are tossed together with lemon and lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro, finely grated ginger and a touch of salt.
We served this Pineapple Mango Salsa at a recent family party and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it is! They also asked for the recipe – so that’s another good reason to share this fantastic salsa as a standalone recipe post!
This pineapple mango salsa has a great fresh flavor that is both sweet and savory with a perfect zesty kick! It is wonderful served with grilled chicken or seafood, added to salads or tacos, and it’s even delicious eaten with crispy tortilla chips – just like you would any other salsa!
Enjoy!

Because this recipe includes salt as one of the ingredients (and the salt will cause the fruit to give up some of it’s liquid), we recommend that you mix everything together and add the salt just before serving.
Ingredients
- ½ fresh pineapple, cored, cleaned and cut ½ inch dice, about 2 cups
- 1 whole fresh mango, stone removed, skinned and cut ½ inch dice, about 1 cup
- 1 whole sweet red bell pepper stemmed and seeded, cut ½ inch dice, about 1 cup
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno
- ½ red onion, small dice, about 1 cup
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice from two fresh limes, about ¼ cup
- Juice from half a lemon, about 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ginger finely grated
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients just before serving. (See note above – it’s best to stir everything together then add salt just before serving.)

You’re very welcome Kari Jane! Glad you (all) enjoyed the salsa!
This is so delicious! I made this for my husband’s 40th birthday luau themed party. It was a hit, and was gobbled up! I’ve made it and topped it on grilled chicken. It’s a family favorite now.
Thanks Helen! So glad you all enjoyed the recipe!
This looks like it would be great with some hot, crispy salted homemade tortilla chips! No wonder it was a hit at the party!
This salsa is wonderful. I have done one with all ingredients listed here except substitute strawberries for the pineapple. I then served that over grilled salmon marinated with raspberry vinaigrette, soooo good!!!
Sounds like a great variation Holly! (I’m going to try swapping in strawberries the next time we make this!) Thanks for the suggestion!
I’m a big fan of fruit salsas in the summertime… they’re so fresh and healthy and flavourful, plus they can turn even then plainest hunk of grilled meat into an instant company-worthy meal. Love the tropical flavours you’ve used here. Mango and pineapple are my current obsessions.
I love that you combined pineapple and mango into one salsa. So many times it’s one or the other….now I have to go check out that chicken recipe!
All you needed to say was “pineapple and mango” and I’m there! I love those two fruits together and this salsa is just so bright and colorful!
My husband and I are hosting a huge luau/pig roast coming up in August and I think I’ll make a few big batches of this salsa for people to munch on before dinner. I can hardly wait to try this.
This would be a perfect menu addition Renee! (And great served alongside the pork too!)
It’s totally worthy of its own post! It’s beautiful and such a great dish for summer.
Get your luau on! I am ready and love how you have spiced up this cool salsa.
I could eat this everyday. On everything. Or just with a spoon. YUM
One of my favorite salsa combinations! I’ve got my chips ready to dive in!
I’d be tempted to eat this with a spoon! That being said, I’ll bet it’s fantastic on chicken, shrimp, tacos…the list goes on and on.
I bet that is so great on grilled fish. A perfect summer salsa.
