Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced

1 cup ripe 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 based on desired spice level)

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: Begin by carefully peeling and dicing the pineapple, mango, and papaya into small, uniform pieces. Consistent sizes will ensure that each bite of salsa delivers the same delightful combination of flavors and textures.

    Mix the Salsa: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, papaya, finely chopped red onion, diced red bell pepper, and minced jalapeño. Gently toss all the ingredients together, being cautious not to bruise the fruit. This preserves the integrity of each component.

      Add Freshness: Fold in the freshly chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest to the fruit mixture. The lime juice will provide a tangy brightness that beautifully balances the sweetness of the tropical fruits.

        Seasoning: Lightly season the salsa with salt and pepper according to your taste. Start with a small pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper, tasting as you go; you can always add more to reach your preferred flavor.

          Chill: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and develop, creating a more harmonious salsa.

            Serve: Once chilled, serve the Tropical Paradise Salsa alongside crispy tortilla chips for dipping. This refreshing combination makes for a perfect appetizer or a delightful snack to enjoy at any gathering.
