This pineapple salsa is perfect over grilled fish, chicken or as a dip with tortilla chip!
If you haven’t ever had a fruit salsa, you are in for a treat! It is so fresh tasting and delicious. When I was making this salsa, the kids kept asking, “Where are the tomatoes?” Most salsas do have tomatoes, but not this one! This salsa only has 5 ingredients – but no tomatoes!
One of my favorite ways to eat this salsa is with grilled fish or chicken, but we’ve also served it with taco. Sometimes I eat it by the spoonful!
Go grab yourself a fresh pineapple and throw together this quick and delicious pineapple salsa.

April 18, 2016 at 7:05 amPineapples are on sale at our local grocery store right now…and I’m thinking a big batch of this salsa might need to happen. I’ve always been partial to ‘traditional’ salsa, but I do love pineapples! Oh, I wonder if we could grill that pineapple and then add it to this salsa? Yum!
Kathy
April 18, 2016 at 8:28 pmI’ve been thinking about using the grilled pineapple in here too! I need to give it a try!

April 19, 2016 at 4:20 amI love fruit salsa! The eye popping color and the swirling taste. Sometimes I make my own, sometimes we buy from the Amish who whip is up pretty cheaply out in the country, but I’m trying this!!

April 20, 2016 at 12:43 amI had only traditional tomato salsa in mind. This sounds interesting. Pineapple salsa can go well with Indian roti and steamed rice for our traditional sadya

April 24, 2016 at 4:37 amYou can control the spiciness by adding as much jalapeno as you desire. Some people like it extra spicy!
