Fresh Pineapple Salsa

Ok so it's FINALLY Friday and about 75 degrees out for the first time since last fall so I wanted to make something fresh and light for dinner.  I found this amazing pineapple salsa in my Pampered Chef cookbook and modified it a bit to give a sweet flavor.  I had everything on hand already so it's the perfect addition to the carribean jerk chicken I'm making tonight!  My boyfriend doesn't like fish, but I strongly suggest you pair this with grilled tilapia or salmon as this would be amazing on top.  One serving of this is only 70 calories with 0 grams of fat and you get about 6 servings out of this salsa.  I hope you really enjoy it!  Your friends will love you for bringing this to your next cookout, don't forget the Corona's and lime!

I love pineapple and mango salsas. The sweet salsa is a nice break from standard tomato salsa. Your recipe sounds delicious.

A fruit salsa is a summertime fave. Usually mango and papaya top the list, but it's time to branch out. Pineapple could be just the thing.

Sounds really good! We've been all about fresh pineapple lately, though it's 7 degrees instead of 75 here.

I love pineapple salsas, and this one sounds fabulous! Incidentally we have a big, juicy pineapple from the Azores (where the best pineapples in the world supposedly hail from!) sitting in our kitchen...I think I know just what to do with it! Thanks!

ok - I'm drooling over all your recipes! I make a mango salsa that I'm in love with (recipe on the site) and was looking for a new update for this summer. I think I've found it with this recipe! I bet it's great along some grilled fish...Thanks for the idea!
