Easy Pineapple Mango Salsa

Serving: 8 cups

Ingredients

1 pineapple

2 mangoes

1 red pepper

1 jalapeno, deseeded

1 red onion

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)

1 tsp salt

Directions

Chop all fruits and veggies into small, bite size pieces.

In a large bowl, add chopped pineapple, mango, red pepper, jalapeno, onion, and cilantro.

Pour the juice of two limes on top along with the salt.

Stir until everything is evenly dispersed and coated.

Serve with chips, on fish, chicken, steak, or on a salad. Store in fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

We also added a tomato into the salsa.

When used in a marinade, we dice everything super finely (or if you have a molcajete, use that to incorporate the salsa even more).

It’s hot out, and all you want to do is go out for a swim, eat some ice cream, or maybe even a beer if that’s your thing. On your way there, you encounter the most beautiful person that you have ever seen. They immediately look away and cower into the shadows. You try to comfort them with words and make way towards them but then you hear sobbing. You pause. Their sobbing immediately turns to…

cool fun fact for sunday

East Asia and South of South America are Antipodes meaning that they are in completely opposite points on the globe.

This means that when Acau joins we will have ccs in oppolise places playing together. People who physically could not be further away from each other.

The ones in buenos aires would be the furthest but i doubt Carre will play so I think cellbit or bagi are next. (idk where exactly they live but I'm pretty sure they come from the south of brazil)

Here is a map of the world showing antipodes. The areas in orange are perfectly opposite to each other.
