Why this Salsa is Special
This Tropical Salsa is more of a summer side dish than a dip. It has all the flavors of sweet and spicy and can be presented with your barbecued steaks or hamburgers. It makes a beautiful presentation of different colors that appeal to the eye. You can add a few chopped strawberries if you like.
It can also be just a great weekend appetizer. You can cheat by buying the fruits and veggies already chopped to save time. But you will save money by chopping it all yourself.
Salsa Ingredients
For this recipe you need, Papaya, Mango, Pineapple, Jalapeno, Red Onion, Cilantro, and Limes.
