Spicy Pineapple
Salsa

We are not sure if you are familiar with the combination of pineapple and piquant... but in this recipe you will discover that it is an exquisite combination.

The spicy pineapple salsa is similar to the pico de gallo but without the use of the tomato. This means that you will find many fresh ingredients cut into small chunks, which are dressed with salt and lime juice.

As it can be imagined the salsa is super fresh and its flavor is contrasting because many different ingredients are used in its preparation. It is the ideal accompaniment of some good tacos al pastor but it can also be used in some achiote shrimp brochettes or with a tasty chicken adobo.

About the Recipe

• In this recipe you are only going to cut and mix, we are sure that you can prepare it.
• The pineapple must be fresh, don’t use pineapple in syrup because it will distort the salsa’s final flavor.
• We recommend using red onion instead of white onion in the preparation because it will give more consistency to the salsa.
• Preparation time 10 minutes.
• The recipe is for 2 cups.

4 Pineapple slices without skin nor core (14.1 oz)

Tropical and Piquant

Tip: If the salsa is refrigerated for about 10 minutes, before serving, the flavors are going to improve.
