Like the warm sunshine, taste summer in every bite with my favorite Mango Salsa with Pineapple Al Pastor Chile Blend. It combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the smoky, spicy flavors of the Al Pastor blend. Enhanced by fresh cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of red onion, this vibrant salsa is perfect for pairing with tortilla chips or as a zesty topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos. The optional addition of jalapeño adds a hint of extra heat, making it a versatile and refreshing dish suitable for any summer gathering.
What I love about this salsa is how it embodies the best of summer flavors—fresh, bright, with the perfect amount of spice. I love making this salsa when having a barbecue with friends. It's a favorite every single time. It pairs so well with meat or fish, but can also be enjoyed by the spoonful straight out of the bowl.
