You’ll also get some great red color and texture from a bell pepper, and flavor from jalapeno, fresh garlic, and ginger. If you’ve had the mango salsa from Costco, I thought this tasted really similar. The mango and pineapple combined, outweigh the quantity of tomato, so this is a really sweet salsa- almost more like a sweet and sour sauce.
