Notes
- Pineapple: As with any salsa recipe, you'll want to start with fresh produce, not frozen or canned. Slice the fruit straight down the middle and carefully slice out the fresh to recreate the serving bowl idea featured above.
- Roma tomatoes: Remove the core to keep the salsa a scoopable (and not too liquid-logged) texture.
- Red onions: I adore the pop of color red (actually, purple) onions lend, but you could also swap in white, yellow, or sweet onions here.
- Jalapeños: For a spicier salsa, toss in an extra jalapeño or two, or use fiery serrano chiles instead.
- Yield: This Pineapple Salsa recipe makes enough for about 14 appetizer-sized or protein-topper servings.
- Storage: Store extra pineapple salsa in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: You can definitely make this a day ahead! The extra chill time allows the flavors to blend even more.
