Pineapple and Jalapeno Salsa
Can you feel the temperature rising? But it will be glorious to have a perfect fine weather to celebrate 4th of July. And speaking of Independence Day, you cannot not speak about outdoor BBQ, and that means the requisite grill, refreshing salad, dainty dessert, heavenly cool drink, and finally this super simple and super delicious pineapple and jalapeno salsa.
To make this pineapple and jalapeno salsa, of course you will need pineapple, and jalapeno, but you will also need some of these to make the whole thing come together: scallions, cilantro, and lime. As it is, this pineapple salsa is very mild due to the use of only jalapeno chilies. In contrast, adding some Thai bird eye chilies to the salsa will increase the heat level significantly, perfect for those who like appreciate some extra spicy kick in their salsa. Due to how easy it is to control the heat level of the salsa, you can easily divide the salsa into two portions and add one portion; keeping one portion mild with only jalapeno, while adding some Thai bird eye chilies to the second portion.
Speaking of serving food for guests, notice that all the ingredients in this yummy pineapple and jalapeno salsa is vegan friendly, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, so this is really a perfect thing to prepare since I am pretty sure 99.9999% of your guests should have nothing to complain about. You will be like the hero host(ess)! Woohoo!
This pineapple and jalapeno salsa can last for up to 1 week in refrigerator, just make sure you use clean glass jars to store them. Go ahead and make multiple batches so you and the family can enjoy it all week long. Of course, when preparing for party, it is always good not to have to scramble in the last minute to prepare all kind of food. At least if your menu include this salsa, there will be one less thing to worry about ;)

I adore sweet and spicy salsa like this! It's my favorite on a fish taco (have you ever tried those vegan fish fillets in the frozen section - yum!). And of course, I love these with chips!
Yes, somehow pineapple works really well with seafood, fish taco included of course. I sometimes make this pineapple salsa to go with simple grilled fish or prawns, and they are perfect for each other.
I think pineapple and jalapeno were made for each other...a perfect combo of sweet and heat for sure! Not only would I love to dip a tortilla chip in it, but I would also loooove to top a veggie burger or taco with this beautiful salsa! :)
Veggie burger with salsa topping, now why haven't I thought of this. Genius!
This salsa looks so flavorful! Perfect recipe for summer. I will definitely give it a try next time I make tacos!
My mouth is watering just looking at that. I'm looking forward to trying this one and sharing now.
Oh yum, this looks just perfect for summer time. I bet it would be a fun topping for veggie burgers too!
Pineapple and jalapeno are the perfect combination for salsa. Can't wait to serve this at my next cookout.
I find it quite hard to find good pineapples, but the next time I do, I shall be making this. It looks fantastic and perfect for summer.
This is one of my most fav salsa. That tropical flavors explode in mouth, oh so yum!
