Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced

1 cup mango, finely diced

1 cup papaya, finely diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for heat)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Salt and pepper, to taste

Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: Start by peeling and dicing the pineapple, mango, and papaya into small, uniform pieces. This will ensure a consistent flavor and texture in every bite of the salsa.

    Mix the Salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, papaya, red onion, red bell pepper, and minced jalapeño. Toss gently to mix the ingredients without bruising the fruit.

      Add Freshness: Stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. The lime will add a zesty brightness that complements the sweet fruits beautifully.

        Seasoning: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper—you can always add more if needed.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and intensify.

            Serve: Serve the Tropical Fruit Salsa with crispy tortilla chips. Enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer or a delightful snack!
