Hi friends! I’m so excited to be sharing this Fresh Pineapple Salsa recipe with you today! It’s so fresh-tasting and healthy, and it makes the perfect appetizer or snack on warm days! I also love to serve it as a condiment over grilled chicken, or even fish tacos! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savoury and the flavours are truly out of this world!

 When making fresh salsas or dips, here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Blend it! – If you’re going for a smooth dip like a guacamole or hummus-style dip, a food processor can be your best friend. This is the one I like to use (affiliate like) and it’s perfect for blended dips and spreads!
2. Dice it! – When making chunky homemade salsas like this Fresh Pineapple Salsa, a good knife and cutting board are your best friends! Dice those veggies and fruits nice and small and the end product will be the perfect texture for dipping or scooping!
3. Go for colour! – Who doesn’t love a super colourful dish in the spring or summer? Use fresh, ripe produce for the best colour and choose a variety – fresh green herbs, red tomatoes, all colours of bell peppers, black beans, red onions, yellow corn – the sky is the limit!

Here’s another tip for you: If you can’t find good quality fresh pineapple where you live, a can of Dole’s GOLD Pineapple Chunks will be your best friend for this recipe. It’s no ordinary canned pineapple and it tastes just like fresh, ripe pineapple. (Not sponsored, just a great tip from my kitchen to yours!)

And of course, if you love pineapples as much as I do then you’ve got to get your hands on this cute little pineapple bowl! It’s perfect for serving dishes just like this Fresh Pineapple Salsa, and I even enjoy my Pineapple Chicken Rice Bowls in it from time to time! It’s just the cutest!!
