Sweet fresh pineapple, Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro all brought together with a little lime juice and salt. This Pineapple Salsa recipe is amazing as a stand-alone salsa for dipping chips, but it’s also delicious as a side served with grilled chicken or blackened salmon.
This fresh pineapple salsa is basically a Pico de Gallo with the addition of small fresh pineapple chunks. The tropical flavor it gives to the salsa is unique and perfect for summertime potlucks and barbecues.
As far as dipping into it with corn chips, our family loves the way it tastes with the Hint of Lime Tostitos. Another option, if you are watching calories, is to dip Sea Salt and Lime Quaker Rice Cakes into it. Yum!
