Allow the salsa to rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. (15 minutes)

For an extra kick, add a finely diced jalapeño pepper (seeds removed) to the salsa.
If you don't have fresh pineapple or mango, you can use frozen, but be sure to thaw it completely and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the salsa.
This salsa is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
