Salsa De Piña (Pineapple Salsa)
You’ll love this Salsa De Piña! Perfectly sweet, with a mix of flavors and textures is what sets this salsa apart. It goes great with shrimp, salmon or just about any other fish.
A great Mexican Salsa to have in your repertoire for when you want to have something fresh to enjoy. Resist the temptation to eat it right out of the bowl!
This is a simple salsa with a bright acidity, one that you could temper with some diced mango if you like. I’ve called for a half of a jalapeño but you could use an entire one if you like.
Adjust the ingredients to your liking but just keep all the flavors in balance – sweet, salty, sour and fiery. It’s terrific on pork and with grilled fish, on shrimp tacos or as an accompaniment to breakfast eggs.
Ingredients
- 1 small pineapple about 2 lbs, peeled, cored & diced – the star of this salsa is the pineapple of course. We’re using fresh pineapple but in a pinch, you could use frozen or the canned kind.
