    Pineapple salsa

    I love fruit salsa! There's something magical about the sweet, spicy, savory, and salty flavors all mixed together into one amazing dish.
     
    My kids also happen to love pineapple, which means I pick one up pretty often for them to eat.
    Pineapple salsa is salty, sweet, spicy, and savory.
    I really like using pineapple for fruit salsa because it's so acidic naturally, kind of like a tomato, that it just transitions into salsa really well. I like to add sweet colored bell peppers for some color, crunch, and sweetness, and then a little lime juice, cilantro, and onion so that it tastes like a traditional salsa. Don't forget the salt and pepper in this recipe. The salt really brings out the sweetness in the dish and is a must.
     

    There are all kinds of ways to serve this pineapple salsa:

    • We love it with chips (these homemade baked tortilla chips are so good)
    • Served over The Best Chicken Tostada Recipe
    • Crunchy Baked Chicken Tacos
    • The Best Chicken Tacos Ever
    • It'd be perfect served with fish tacos too!

    How long does homemade salsa last?

    This salsa will be the best if eaten within 3-5 days.

    How do I control the heat of this salsa?

    To take the heat down a notch, make sure to remove the seeds of the jalapeño pepper.

    How do I get more juice from a lime?

    To maximize the amount of lime juice, I like to microwave the lime for 30 seconds, then roll it around on the counter. Then juice the lime with a juicer or simple by hand.

    Pineapple salsa - Serve it with chips or over your favorite Tex-Mex recipe.
