Fresh Pineapple Salsa

This Fresh Pineapple Salsa makes a great Taco topping but equally as good eating it with tortilla chips.

I recently hosted a dinner party and wanted to make a salsa that my guests could put on their tacos. In the past, I’ve made a Spicy Apple Salsa and a delicious Mango Salsa, but this time I wanted something a little different. So here's my Fresh Pineapple Salsa recipe.

I will admit I don’t cook with pineapple very often (which is a shame) but I think this pineapple salsa turned out pretty darn good! All I can say is that there was none left at the end of the party.

Salsa is almost expected whenever you go to a Mexican restaurant as an appetizer while waiting for your meal (with Margaritas of course!).

While the salsa plays an important role in the experience, bad tortilla chips will ruin a good salsa. And boy have I had some terrible tortilla chips over the years.

🌶 How to Handle Hot Peppers

The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!

Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
