Fresh Pineapple Salsa
I made Sesame Ginger Chicken Quesadillas and wanted a fresh salsa to serve as a topping. This fresh pineapple salsa was the perfect addition to the quesadillas – full of flavor, colorful, sweet, and spicy. This salsa can be very versatile, though. It’s also incredibly versatile — serve it as an appetizer with chips, a topping for guacamole, fish, or grilled meats, add it to tacos and burritos, spoon it over rice or grain bowls, enjoy it with eggs, or use it in countless other ways.
Fresh ingredients give this salsa an amazing flavor, making it not only delicious, but also colorful and appetizing.
Ingredients include the following:
- fresh pineapple
- red bell pepper
- sweet onion
- fresh cilantro
- jalapeno
- lime
- salt
