Tropical Pineapple Salsa

Seeing as how it's my favorite day of the year (minus my birthday which is quickly approaching) I'll be feasting on chips, salsa and guac all day long, I thought we should dip into a Tropical Pineapple Salsa to jazz things up a bit and celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

Tropical Pineapple Salsa

I'm feeling very tropical these days. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it's been in the 90's for the last week here in LA. Or perhaps it's the fact that I'm craving a little tropical getaway for my birthday. Or maybe it's just due to the fact that I'm obsessed with food that you can enjoy while sitting on the beach.

Just imagine eating this salsa, along with some homemade tortilla chips, laying on the beach, and soaking up the sun. It's kinda all of that rolled into one recipe and it's perfect for tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of spring and summer. Throw it on some chips or use it as a condiment for some grilled chicken, steak or fish. It's amazing, I know. You're welcome 🙂

  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin, and cut the avocado into ¼-inch pieces. Transfer the avocado to a bowl.

I will never not recommend frying up your own tortilla chips. But you can also pick up your favorites from the store or use this on top of tacos.

  1. Oh man, I wish it was in the 90s here in the Midwest! I'll have to settle for a stellar tropical salsa like this one. Looks great, Gabi! 🙂

  2. This looks like a great one for the kids, who aren't so keen on fiery salsas. Thanks Gaby.

  3. Pineapple and avocado together?! Creamy, crunchy, spicy, sweet?! Sounds amaze-balls!
