Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chopped peeled pineapple
1 cup chopped peeled mango
1 cup chopped yellow or red bell pepper
2/3 cup chopped peeled kiwi fruit
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon minced serrano chili* (with seeds)
Ground white pepper
*A serrano is a very hot, small fresh green chili available at Latin American markets and many supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with white pepper and salt. (Can be made 3 hours ahead.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruits: The fresher and riper the fruits, the more delicious your salsa will be. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and flavorful salsa. Some good combinations include mango, pineapple, papaya, and kiwi; strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries; or peaches, nectarines, and plums.
  • Add some heat: If you like your salsa with a little kick, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Balance the flavors: A good salsa should have a balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. If your salsa is too sweet, add a squeeze of lime juice or lemon juice. If it's too sour, add a pinch of sugar or honey. And if it's too salty, add a little water.
  • Chill before serving: Salsa is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes the salsa more refreshing.
