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 recently hosted a dinner party and wanted to make a salsa that my guests could put on their tacos.

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.

While several factors come into play, homemade salsa will last 4 to 6 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze salsa in an airtight container or bag for up to 4 months.

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

While 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.

  1. I was never a fan of pineapple until I made this salsa. It was so refreshing and delicious. Made it for an open house and everyone just loved it.
