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

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.

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.
