I had this absolutely delightful and fresh Raw Mango Pineapple Salsa at Club Mahindra Ashtamudi.
Of course, the combination of Raw Mango and Pineapple is a marriage made in heaven as it evident from Ambo Annanas Sasam, a popular Konkani recipe. I could not get over the medley of sweet, tangy, and spicy taste of this salsa and tried it at home recently with excellent results.
What I loved about making Raw Mango Pineapple Salsa is that it involved absolutely no cooking and can be put together in a few minutes. I let the salsa rest for an hour so that the various flavours meld together. Do ensure that the mango is tangy and the pineapple is sweet for best results.
How to Make Raw Mango Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients
- 1/4″ Cubes of Pineapple Pieces – 1 Cup
- 1/4″ Cubes of Raw Mango Pieces – 2/3 Cup
- Red Chilli Powder – 1/2 tsp
- Sugar – 1/2 tsp
- Salt to Taste
Method
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- Let the salad or salsa rest for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Enjoy the Raw Mango Pineapple Salsa!
Tips
- I found that using equal proportions of mango and pineapple makes the salsa a bit sour and hence the 3:2 proportion.
I’ve always eaten mango with these spices but never thought if adding pineapple next time I shall try it x
Do.. do. A dash of lemon juice adds an extra twist!
Yeah usually I have semi raw mango add lemon juice chilli powder and salt sometimes as a midnight snack being brought up in Africa got me hooked onto this but ill try with pineapple x
I add cashew fruit during the season to the above salad…….mmmmm and sometimes add pepper powder / chat masala to the above salad.
This is so exciting! Some simple ingredients combined can give a totally new taste. I can imagine my taste buds dancing!
I’m drooling, just looking at the pictures and reading your description!
It is drool worthy!
Wow, sounds like a great combination, wouldn’t have thought of combining raw mango with a fruit. I assume that the mango needs to be peeled?
Yes. …. 🙂
In Mexico, we would add a bit of finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro and even some finely chopped jalepeno chile with the veins and seeds removed and of course, lime. Buen Provecho!
I still have a lot of pineapple and raw mango. I will be trying this ASAP. 🙂
Thank you.
No. I used the mango with the peel. Adds a level of crunch.
I LOVE IT! I actually made this the other day but like your version much better 😉
I just started following you and I have a vegan blog as well 🙂
