Pineapple salsa is a fabulous salsa to go with summer grilling. It’s an easy crowd pleaser. This recipe is sweet, colorful, and versatile. Serve it with grilled chicken, seafood, beef, or pork.
Grill pineapple slices for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Carmelized pineapple makes a difference you don’t want to miss. Cool, chop, and mix with other ingredients. Really sweet pineapples do not need sweetener. Taste your pineapple to decide if sweetener is needed. It’s wonderful on tacos and as a dip. Try it with my easy grilled chicken tacos.
