Tropical Salad with Pineapple and Mango

This tropical salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer. The combination of sweet pineapple, mango, and red bell pepper is complemented by the tangy lime juice and cilantro. The salad is light and healthy, and it can be served as a side dish or main course.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean. I was on vacation with my family, and we were staying at a small bed and breakfast. The owner of the bed and breakfast was a wonderful cook, and she made us this salad for breakfast one morning. I loved the salad so much that I asked her for the recipe. She was happy to share it with me, and I have been making it ever since.
