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!
Pineapple salsa:
1 small pineapple, peeled and diced into smallish pieces
1 jalapeno, minced
1/2 – 1 red onion (depending on taste), chopped fine
1/2 bunch coriander, chopped
1 lime, juiced
a pinch of cumin
salt to taste
Directions:
Mix all in a large bowl and leave to sit for about at least an hour, to allow flavours to mingle. Test for seasoning before serving. Serve cold as a nice counterpoint to your spicy food! (very refreshing for summer).
Mmmm Pineapple. My favourite fruit (well, one of them anyway). This looks delicious, thanks
I really don’t like fruit, but I like them in savory things. Weird, huh!
Oh yummy of yummy things, I do love a good salsa. Mango is wonderful too xox
I’ve really gotta make one this summer!
Now I want a burrito for breakfast. Damn you boring toast!
I think I’ve got a breakfast burrito recipe here somewhere!
Yum I love pineapple and thanks for sharing Stacey x
You’re so welcome x
I love a good salsa. I’ve never had a pineapple salsa so I’ll have to try this. Mango salsa is also fantastic.
Ooh yes I agree!
Yum, I love pineapple, especially in savoury dishes.
I can’t believe there are people out there who think pineapple should never be cooked!
Holy shit, this looks amazing. Love me some pineapple action x
Yeah I don’t mind it meself!
Dang, 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.
WHAT?! I need that so bad. That sounds amazing. I am dying to go to Vietnam!
I love pineapple but have never made it into salsa before – this is definitely happening as part of my next Mexican feast! Thanks Stacey!
Anything for you!
