Notes

A chunky salsa is the way to go, but try not to cut the pieces too big. It makes it harder to scoop with chips.

For a smoky and bold flavor, try making grilled pineapple salsa! Simply grill the pineapple before dicing it and mixing it with the other ingredients for a deeper, caramelized taste that’s perfect on fish!

The seasoning is kept super simple on purpose. The real stars here are the fruits and veggies, so they don’t need much else.

If raw onion is a bit strong for you, soak the diced onion in cold water for 10-15 minutes. Drain well before mixing it in.

Let it chill. A little fridge time helps the flavors come together beautifully.

For a pretty presentation, try serving your pineapple salsa in a pineapple! Slice lengthwise through the stem and hollow out one half. It’s a super easy way to make it feel extra festive for parties or BBQs.

Ingredients to prep ahead- Dice the pineapple, onion, and jalapeño ahead of time for easy assembly.

Leftovers and storage- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.
