Notes

What can I add to Fresh Pineapple Salsa?
  • Avocado- Want to make the salsa just a little creamy, add some diced avocado and stir it in. It adds a soft, creamy element that marries well with the cilantro.
  • Sweet corn- Almost any fresh sweet summer veggie will work well in this dish. Always remember to look for what is in season and use that to complement this bright salsa recipe. Blanch the corn for 2 minutes and remove the kernels from the cob. Stir them into the salsa and enjoy.
  • Black beans- Want to add some protein to this recipe, black beans are a great choice. Make sure you rinse the beans well and drain them before adding to the salsa. This combination is wonderful served over rice for a hearty side dish or added to a taco for the main course.
