About the Ingredients
​
​
​
• Mango-If 1 mango isn't enough, use 2. The amount of ingredients
in this recipe is up to you.
​
​
• Pineapple-Fresh is best. Most food stores now offer fresh
pineapple cut up in large cubes or slices.
​
​
• Pomegranate seeds-Usually the seeds of 1 pomegranate.
​
​
• Sweet peppers-I like to use the red and green ones for color!
​
​
• Cilantro-Clean thoroughly, dry and chop. I have used parsley in
a pinch to save a trip to the store.
​
​
• Red onion-Adds color and a toned down flavor.
​
​
• Jalapeno-Start with a small amount to keep it from
overwhelming the dish.
​
​
• Lime-I always gently fold the other ingredients together and
taste before adding the lime juice. It gives such a fresh taste to
this dish. Even a little makes a difference.
​
​
• Sea salt-You may want more after tasting.

To remove the seeds from a pomegranate, thinly slice off the top, then cut down into the
white areas that divide the segments. They usually have 4 or 6 segments. Then it's a
matter of removing the seeds. You can use your fingers or a small spoon. Check all the
little hidden pockets. They will store for several days when put into a sealed container. I
like to use glass jars.

I love this juicer. It's easy on the
hands to use and it costs less
than ten dollars.
