Pineapple is a big hit with me and with spring coming to full bloom it just seems like a good idea to add it to anything and everything. It's so fresh and sweet and goes with almost anything.
I'll have pineapple on my pizza, in my salad, in my drink (pina colada anyone?) and yes, also in my salsa!
In this post I'll share with you, my super easy and tasty fresh pineapple salsa recipe!
Isn't salsa awesome?!
All my life I've enjoyed the usual plain old (and also delicious) tomato based salsa when having Mexican food or tortilla chips. In the past couple of years, I've tried out different combinations and love to experiment with flavors!
My most favorite salsa is a combination of pineapple, red peppers, green onion, cilantro and lime with a little kick from jalapeno!
If you've never tried pineapple salsa before – please do it!! You're seriously missing out!
The sweetness of the pineapple along with the other ingredients, especially the lime and cilantro, taste super amazing no matter how you serve it. It tastes great with the usual tortilla chips but I would highly recommend trying it as a side dish with dinner.
I find that pineapple salsa is amazing on top of pan seared chicken breast or fish but you can also serve it as a salad. Please check out my post on how to serve this with chicken! 🙂
This stuff is so easy to make – chop everything up, combine the ingredients and drizzle some lime. That's it!
My son Donnie, LOVES pineapple salsa! I mean, what kid wouldn't like something sweet like this? Since he's only 2 years old, I make sure to give him a portion without any jalapeno pieces. When he's finished with his salsa, he always asks for more.
I think it's a great way to get some fruits and veggies into a kid who's sometimes picky! 🙂
