- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush or spray the grates with oil.

Grilled Pineapple Mango Salsa
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush or spray the grates with oil.
- Brush the slices of pineapple and mango with oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
- When the grill is ready place the sliced pineapple and mango on the grates (flesh side down for the mango).
- Grill the pineapple for approximate 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the slices or until nice grill marks form.
- Grill the mango for approximately 3 minutes total or until nice grill marks form.
- Remove the fruit from the grill and let it cool until it can be handled.
- Cut the mango into slices then remove the skin and cut the flesh into small chunks.
- Cut the pineapple into small chunks.
- Place all of the ingredients for the salsa into a serving bowl and toss together.
