This is everything that's good about summer.
Fresh juicy pineapple paired with the spicy bite of jalapeno and the sweet crisp of red onion. Lime juice and cilantro.
It's simple, right? I know! But I feel like people just don't know about the greatness that is this salsa.
And I want them to!
All it requires is some dicing
The pineapple is sweet and tart and bursts in your mouth, and the jalapeno adds a nice contrasting heat and crunch. Red onions make all things better. And though I used to think that cilantro tasted like wet rag, I do enjoy it in salsas and other Mexican inspired recipes.
I welcome the cilantro in this keeper!

This salsa is perfect as a dip or appetizer with chips or tortillas. Or most definitely as a topping on fish, pork, chicken, or anything else you can think of.
Or just served straight up on a spoon. Whatever floats your boat!

Peace, and bacon grease!

This looks pretty much like how I make mango salsa, just with pineapples! I haven't tried pineapple salsa before, but I love them. I totally need to make this! Thank you for the recipe and awesome photos.
