Fresh Pineapple Salsa

Fresh Pineapple Salsa is a delicious combination of sweet and tangy ingredients with a bit of spiciness. Can be served with any Mexican Dish, as a starter with chips or simply enjoy it on its own as a salad.

What is a Salsa?

Technically, a salsa is a sauce made with cooked ingredients, the most common being tomato, onion, cilantro, chilis and lemon juice. Salsa Fresca is a fresh sauce. No cooking takes place for the Salsa Fresca. The ingredients are chopped and mixed together. Usually enjoyed with some tortilla chips or on its own as a starter or a salad. This Pineapple Salsa is actually a Salsa Fresca.

Memories 

I’ve got to thank my daughter for this recipe. I’d barely begun blogging and she sent me this recipe from a magazine. “Mum, try this out. Its so colorful and am sure it will taste good.” And I did. As I couldn’t find any jalapeño, I used chopped green chilis and chilli flakes instead. The recipe since then has been prepared in that manner and we love it.

How I Usually Serve Fresh Pineapple Salsa?

  • Usually with tortilla chips.
  • Have enjoyed it as a salad.
  • Served it with crackers and even our desi khakhra.
  • Tastes really good with bean burgers or served on the side with quesadilla.

Can you use canned or tinned pineapples?

Yes you can. I get plenty of fresh pineapples where I live so use that. However, I have tried making the salsa with canned pineapple titbits and it tastes great.

  • Tomato – fresh, chopped finely
  • Onion – I’ve used red onion but you can use any of your choice. Peel and finely chop it.
