Fresh Pineapple Salsa With Jalapenos

My fresh pineapple salsa recipe is a game changer. Made with fresh pineapple, jalapenos, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime, and more. A sweet salsa that packs a punch. Dip tortilla chips in your pineapple salsa or top fish tacos with the salsa. Either way, the flavor punch is phenomenal.

This fruit salsa is a great appetizer, side dish, or topper for chicken, fish, or even pair with some shrimp. Unlike tomato salsa, this is a sweet and spicy salsa that is truly loaded with tons of flavor.

Now, you have to try out my jalapeno peach salsa, and my salsa verde if you enjoy making sauces and salsas. Both of these are made with fresh ingredients that really elevate the flavor compared to a jar salsa you purchase at a grocery store.

Tips from our Recipe Developer

Jalapeno – If you want, use green bell pepper if you don’t want the jalapeno in the recipe. It will tame down the spice level of the salsa. Or ramp it up and use a habanero pepper for added heat.

Spices – You can use a mix of spices to add more levels of flavor. Cayenne pepper, cumin, or chili powder all would be great additions of flavor to the salsa.

Serving – Serve as an appetizer; mix in black beans and quinoa to make into a salad, top tacos, etc.

Pineapple – You can use canned pineapple if you want. The tidbits would work nicely; just drain off the juice.

Storage

Refrigerator

This pineapple salsa is perishable, so it will need to be refrigerated until you are ready to serve it up. So store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

You can make the salsa a day in advance of when you plan to serve it up. It will help blend the flavors even more if you do this.

Freezing

Due to the fruit and vegetables, you will find it won’t freeze and thaw very well. The vegetables and fruit will become very soft, watery, and lacking in flavor.

I recommend not freezing the jalapeno pineapple salsa.

What To Serve With Fruit Salsa

Use the salsa to top your cilantro lime shrimp tacos, fajitas, or even top these rolled tacos. This salsa pairs nicely with fish tacos as well, it is going to bring out tons of flavor to your fish.

Serve up a mango margarita or strawberry margarita on the side to your sweet salsa!
