Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss 2 cups ripe pineapple chunks and 1 cup ripe mango chunks with 1 tbsp olive oil. Grill fruit for 3-4 minutes per side until edges are charred and caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine grilled pineapple, grilled mango, 1 small minced and seeded jalapeño pepper, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, and 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the fruit mixture. Toss gently to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Step 4: Let salsa rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld before serving with grilled fish, chicken, or tortilla chips.
