Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t find fresh pineapple right now, what other fruit can I substitute in this recipe?

Try mango if you can’t find pineapple! Also, fresh peaches would work well. If necessary, use canned pineapple but the flavor won’t be exactly the same.

How long will this salsa last after I make it?

This salsa should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It should last at least 2 days but possibly longer depending on how ripe your ingredients were when you made the salsa.

I don’t like cilantro, can I skip it?

Definitely! If cilantro isn’t your thing and it tastes like soap first of all I’m sorry but also just leave it out. This recipe will be just fine without it.
