Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced

1 cup ripe mango, finely diced

1 cup kiwi, peeled and finely diced

1 cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 medium jalapeño, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)

Juice of 2 limes

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Salt to taste

1 bag tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits: Start by prepping your tropical fruits. Finely dice the pineapple, mango, kiwi, and red bell pepper, ensuring each piece is small for even mixing and easy scooping with chips.

    Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, mango, kiwi, and red bell pepper. Add the finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.

      Season the Salsa: Squeeze the juice of the two limes over the fruit mixture. If you enjoy a touch of sweetness, add one tablespoon of honey. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients without mashing the fruit.

        Adjust Flavor: Taste the salsa and season with salt as needed. Adjust lime juice or honey according to your personal preference for tanginess or sweetness.

          Chill: For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Once chilled, give the salsa another gentle stir. Serve in a large bowl surrounded by tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy the refreshing and vibrant flavors of your Tropical Fiesta Salsa!
