Battle of the Salsas

Pineapple Salsa

For the first salsa, I picked a fruit based one that’s perfect for summer. Pineapple is another fruit that I’m not a fan of, so let’s be honest I didn’t try either of these two salsas. The main difference other than the main ingredient is this one has some kick to it. I added cumin and a jalapeno as per the recipe. It also had more fresh cilantro than I would have added if I were eating some myself. Those few things are what I suspect to sway the results to one side.

I purchased pre-diced pineapple, because I knew I wasn’t willing to deal with an entire pineapple. Everything else was super easy just like the other salsa. Mix everything in a bowl!

Mango Salsa

I love making salsas because it’s basically a “chop everything up and mix together.” These two salsas are no exception to that. The only thing that would have made it better is using a food processor. I made these two salsas for my book club girlfriends and made them vote on the one they liked best (see below for results). First of all, I’ve never bought or cut up a mango in my life. So this was problematic for me when I was trying to diced it up for the salsa. Next time I’ll try to find pre-cut mangoes if I can. (well… I don’t like mangoes so there probably won’t be a next time).
