Mango-Pineapple Salsa (Vegan, Gluten-Free and Soy-Free)

salsa1I’ve kept this five minute winner in my back pocket for a decade now when I really want to knock people’s socks off. Fresh, incomparably bright in both colour and flavour; there is something almost ambrosial about this fresh salsa that is packed full of ripe tropical fruits. It pairs well with black bean burritos, in tacos, on top of salads or as a snack with sliced bell peppers, or corn and plantain chips. I hope you love it as much as I have for all these years.

If you’re not sure where you fall on the spectrum, start with a quarter, mix, taste and repeat. It will keep for a couple of days in the fridge, tops, so use as quickly as you can (not that I think you’ll be able to stop yourself).

Makes ~ 2 cups

1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple (make sure it is ripe)
1/2 large mango, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (I like to use cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup red onion, diced
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 jalapeño pepper, diced, seeds included
Large handful cilantro, stem included, chopped roughly
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your preferences – that might be more lime juice, more spice or more salt. Marvel at the wonder you have just created.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
