Pineapple Salsa

Pineapple salsa is super easy to make and so refreshing! Enjoy its sweet, spicy and spicy blend of flavors with French fries or grilled meat or seafood.

Fruit salsas are one of my favorite things to have as a midday snack or appetizer, especially during the summer months when there are many varieties of juicy fruit. You can find many of my salsa recipes on my other blog, Onion Rings and Stuff, but today I’m going to share one of the best!

This pineapple salsa is a healthy and delicious treat you’ll want all year round. It is light, refreshing and full of beneficial nutrients. It goes great with chips for a snack and as a side dish with grilled meat or seafood.

It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare with just six ingredients and tastes so fresh and delicious. Its sweet, tangy and spicy taste is sure to hit the spot. Perfect for potlucks or BBQ parties!

How to choose a pineapple

• The quality of this salsa depends on the freshness of the ingredients. For the best experience, use only fresh pineapples. Absolutely no canned goods!
• Although it is available year-round, its peak season is from March to July. Choose one that is plump, heavy to the touch and firm but not hard, with no signs of wrinkles, dry eyes or soft brown spots. The leaves should be bright and green and not yellow.
• Give it a good sniff! A perfectly ripe pineapple has a slightly sweet aroma.
• Since the fruit will not ripen further after harvest, pineapples are usually picked when they are already ripe and ready to eat. If you are not using it in the next few days, put it in the refrigerator so that it does not ferment.

Preparation tips

• For best results, cut the ingredients into very fine cubes.
• This salsa is very simple and only has 6 simple ingredients. Feel free to add red and green peppers and tomatoes for extra color, texture and nutrition.
• Not a cilantro fan? Swap for chopped green onions!

Submission suggestions

• This pineapple salsa is great as a dip with chips, but it’s just as wonderful served with grilled meat, chicken, or fish.
• Refrigerate leftovers in a container with a tight-fitting lid and use as soon as possible. Fruit tends to water as it stands.
