Ingredients
  

For the Fruit Salsa
  • 1 large mango ripe, peeled and finely diced (about 1.5 cups)
  • 1 cup pineapple fresh, finely diced
  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and finely diced
  • 2 kiwis peeled and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 jalapeño deseeded and finely diced (omit for no heat)
For the Honey-Lime Dressing
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

Prepare the Fruits
  1. Carefully peel and finely dice the mango, pineapple, strawberries, and kiwis. Aim for roughly 1/4-inch pieces to ensure a good mix of flavors in each bite. Place all diced fruits into a large mixing bowl.
Prepare Aromatics
  1. Finely mince the red onion. Chop the fresh cilantro. For the jalapeño, remove the seeds and white membrane (this reduces the heat significantly), then finely dice it. Add the minced red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño to the bowl with the fruits.
Make the Dressing
  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, and salt until well combined and the honey is dissolved.
Combine and Chill
  1. Pour the honey-lime dressing over the fruit and aromatic mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the delicate fruits.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures the salsa is perfectly chilled.
Serve
  1. Serve the vibrant tropical fruit salsa chilled with cinnamon pita chips, tortilla chips, or as a fresh accompaniment to grilled chicken, fish, or pork. Enjoy!

Notes

For a milder salsa, omit the jalapeño or use only half. Feel free to customize with other fruits like peaches, blueberries, or even finely diced bell pepper for extra crunch and color. This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
