The supermarkets in my neighborhood have all kinds of lettuce varieties, they all look crunchy and fresh. There’s romaine, iceberg, green with long leaves, purple; there are many options. I’ve noticed that many tropical fruits are also in season, such as mango and pineapple. Which is why I decided to combine these delicious fruits and vegetables to make this simple and light recipe, perfect for warm sunny days. The lettuce should be very fresh and crunchy since we will use it as the base for our tacos. The tropical salsa is so rich that you will probably want to use it for other recipes as well. If you’d like, you can make double the amount and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
