Tropical Sunrise Salsa

  • 1/2 ripe papaya (about 1/2 lbs), seeded, skinned and cut into small dice
  • 1/2 ripe mango, seeded, skinned, and cut into small dice
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple (canned pineapple will do)
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into small dice
  • 1 or 2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and minced
  • 4 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 2 to 4 Tbsp finely chopped fresh basil or fresh mint
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Combine papaya, mango, pineapple, cucumber, jalapenos, green onions, basil or mint and lime juice in small glass bowl. Toss gently just to combine. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 hour.

If making further head of time, add papaya and pineapple just before serving, or they will make salsa watery.
