Pineapple salsa
Pineapple salsa is a sweet and savory dish that is perfect for any summer party. The dish originates from Mexico, where it is often served with fish or chicken. Pineapple salsa can be made with fresh or canned pineapple, and the sweetness of the fruit pairs perfectly with the spice of jalapeño peppers.
Pineapple salsa first became popular in the United States in the 1980s, when Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine began to gain popularity. The dish is now a staple at summer cookouts and potlucks across the country.
There are endless variations of pineapple salsa, but the most common ingredients include pineapple, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers. Some recipes also call for lime juice, garlic, or honey to balance out the flavors.
Advice
When making pineapple salsa, it's important to make sure all the ingredients are fresh. Start by cutting fresh pineapple into small cubes, finely chopping fresh red onion, and jalapeno, and mincing fresh cilantro. Be sure to seed the jalapeno to reduce the heat. For a sweet and spicy flavor, add a teaspoon of honey and a few dashes of hot sauce. Finally, season with salt and fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
