Today I have for you a real treat for summer. A perfect slightly spicy, light, and colorful summer snack ā pineapple salsa. Pineapple salsa is the perfect combination of fruits and vegetables with a little kick. This recipe also happens to be very good for you. Getting the right amount of fruits and vegetables every day is very important in a healthy diet. This recipe is a great source of fiber as well. Cayenne pepper gives the recipe a little kick but if you like something even spicier you can add a minced jalapeno pepper into the mix. If you are looking for a great party snack, this could be the recipe for you. It goes great on chips, tacos, fish, and many other things. Enjoy.

fantastic play of colours and i really like the addition of coriander. sure gives it a lovely flavour!! i find adding fresh basil to fruit amazing as well.
Looks yummy. It’s so beautiful. Festive colors.
Dumb question: do you eat it as a salad or do you use it for a topping on some meat or something?
Wow!!! This would be a treat for eyes and tongue š You rock with ur recipes:)
I found your blog through Great Chefs Community and it looks great. This looks and sounds wonderful, so colorful. I love to find different ingredients for making salsa. I hope I get to give it a try this weekend!
i don’t need any chips, tacos, or fish–i’d eat it straight out of the bowl (using my hands, if necessary). it’s pretty, healthy, and bound to be absolutely delicious–a triple threat!
diva – fresh basil? Interesting, I will give that a try!
tye – You could eat it as a salad if you wanted, but it would mainly be used as a dipping for chips or go to on tacos of fish.
Vani – thanks for the compliments!
Katherine – Yes, give it a try. It’s great. I hope you enjoy it and if you do decide to try it let me know how it turns out.
grace – haha, with your hands… I got a good laugh :). I always enjoy your comments!
Bobby: Thank you for your response. š
These recipes are incredible, thank you. I’m going to make the pineapple salsa today and will let you know how I get on.
tye – no problem. Hopefully it turns out good for you.
Hibernian – I hope you enjoy it!
I have just started exploring salsas and I have not tried a pineapple one yet. It looks really good!
Kevin – Salsas are amazing. I think I’m going to try mango next. Pineapple is amazing… I love the flavor! Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
I usually make a pineapple salsa to serve with Jamaican Jerk Chicken. =)
As for mango salsas: my mother makes a simply kind — with cilantro, lime juice and red onions — and actually does just eat it straight like that with a spoon!
When I used to work in a restaurant, we’ve made mango salsa with mint and basil as the herbal components.
Cheers!

_ts of [eatingclub] vancouver – pineapple salsa with jerk chicken sounds great! The mango salsa sounds interested, I am going to make it sometime.
We don’t celebrate simple things like Salsa often enough, do we? They’re often the bits of a meal we remember most fondly.
Great post.
Made this tonight to enjoy this weekend on a retreat with friends. Can’t wait to eat it! THis was great recipe for me, as I could find all of the ingredients here in Honduras. Thanks for sharing!
Hmmm, I have no clue whether cayenne pepper is available here. Any ideas for a substitute?
Mrugesh – Try crushed red pepper flakes
Never been a great fan of cilantro but I keep trying. Definitely will experiment with basil and with mint. I think it a bit chunky for dipping so will try a much finer dice and also puree to make a dipping sauce – I love experimenting with food colours / flavours / textures.
Thanks for the inspiration.
