Pineapple, Papaya & Mango Salsa

"Obviously sweet because of the fruit but a slight hint of heat because of the pepper. We love this on grilled ahi, steamed uhu or aweoweo. I worked out this recipe after several failed attempts. We are blessed to live in Hawaii where fresh-off-the-tree fruit and great pineapples are easy to find, but try it anyway. As a variation, skip the pineapple and use chopped, seeded cucumber. Enjoy!"

  1. I have made this recipe twice and it is delicious! I could not find jarred jalapenos so I just used fresh ones and used chili oil as I could not find tabasco jalapeno sauce either. Great way to use tropical fruit even in Northern Canada!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm lucky in that my husband will eat just about anything I put in front of him, even those labeled as "fails". Even then, he will choke it down without to much grumbling. After living on Kaua'i for nearly 14 years, I discovered a lot of Pacific Rim recipes and enjoy learning any style cuisine. These days I am learning more and more about the Paleo and Primal way of eating and am convinced that the 35+ years of "everything low fat" and the insane amounts of processed foods play a huge part of why people in these United States are so sick and overweight. Anyway, I'll not get on my "low fat fallacy" soap box. So every morning I have my bullet proof coffee complete with butter, coconut oil, heavy whipping cream (HWC) and some Himalayan salt. Drink my ketones (Keto//OS www.carolannneill.shopketo.com) and enjoy life!
