At this time, we all are bonding with our loved ones. Me and my family are spending time playing games, watching movies or just simply laughing at some TikTok videos. This is a great moment to snack on something light and what a better choice than a big bowl of pineapple salsa. This Pineapple Salsa is a fun and easy appetizer that you can eat with some chips or as a side dish for some good juicy chicken breast.
This sweet and savory salsa is made with a combination of pineapple, sweet peppers, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. I also added some jalapenos to which I remove the seeds from it to just get a good mild heat. However, if you want to bump up the spicy level do not remove the seeds from the jalapeno. As for the dressing, I use a lemon honey combination that compliments this salsa very well.
Ingredients’ you’ll need to make this Fresh Pineapple Salsa:
- 1 large pineapple (about 2 to 3 cups dice)
- Red onion ( diced)
- Cilantro
- Red pepper
- Yellow pepper
- Sweet mini peppers
- Jalapeno (optional)
How to make this Salsa
The first step is to Peel and slices the pineapple. I decided to cut the fruit in big chunks as I am going to pair it with chicken breast. However, if you are pairing it with chips my suggestion is to cut the pineapple in a smaller size for a better grabbing. Place the pineapple in a big bowl. I used the one I’m serving it.
Then, roughly chop the tomatoes, peppers, onion, jalapeno (seedless less heat), and cilantro.
Next, combine them with the pineapple, drizzle with the lemon honey dressing and gently stir until all is well combined. If you prefer a cold salsa place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the dressing and the juices from the pineapple to mingle creating a delicious salsa.
Enjoy!
