For a milder spice level, use half a jalapeño or remove the seeds and membranes completely before chopping. Adjust the amount of honey to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Feel free to add other fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi for added variety and color. This salad is best served chilled. It can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pineapple and mango before adding them to the salad.
