It’s Getting Hot in Herre! (but you can leave your clothes on if you want). Either way, it’s time to bust out some salsas. SALSA, people, is one of the reasons I exist. There is nothing I don’t like about a salsa. Nothing.
Pineapple salsa is a bit of a new one for me, I wasn’t even aware of the glory of pineapple in Mexican food until 2010 and I ate a vegan burrito in Vancouver. Black beans and pineapple in amongst the other assorted burrito-y goodness? Where had it been all my life? More importantly, could I pull off the same flavour at home?
I love this salsa as a side dish of sorts with enchiladas, quesadillas or burritos. It’s a bit too chunky to have with chips (but you could sort out the pineapple pieces if that’s what you want to do), so works well as a bit of a garnish. Grab yourself a margarita and a tortilla and let’s party!

September 27, 2013 at 9:35 pmI love a good salsa. I’ve never had a pineapple salsa so I’ll have to try this. Mango salsa is also fantastic.

September 29, 2013 at 9:00 pmDang, this looks GOOD! It reminds me of my trip to Vietnam earlier in the year where at a dinner, dessert was sliced pineapple that you dip in salt and chilli. Sounds wrong but it’s so right.
Veggie Mama says
September 30, 2013 at 11:03 amWHAT?! I need that so bad. That sounds amazing. I am dying to go to Vietnam!
