This tangy and sweet strawberry pineapple salsa goes well with chicken, pork, and fish. It is best eaten the day you make it, but let it sit after making it so the flavors can meld.
Get Your Fruits and Vegetables
Add more rainbow colors to your diet with this Strawberry Pineapple Salsa. You can use red, yellow, green, or orange bell peppers to vary the color of this side dish. The beautiful blend of fruits and vegetables makes it easy to get nutrients in your diet.
Use Fresh Produce
Use fresh pineapple rather than canned or frozen for this salsa. It wonβt take an entire pineapple to make it, so you will have some leftovers for eating or using in another recipe. Also, donβt buy the fruits and vegetables until you are ready to make this salsa to ensure that everything is fresh and has the best flavor. And if your strawberries are juicy, donβt be surprised if they tint the pineapple a peach color.
Finely Chop Everything
This recipe is best if you cut everything about the same size. This helps ensure that you get a little of everything in each bite! Pour off any extra juice from chopping the pineapple.
What Goes with Strawberry Pineapple Salsa?
This salsa is good eaten alone or as a side dish. It also goes well with fish, chicken, and pork. One of my favorite ways to eat it is on fish tacos. It is also delicious on tortilla chips and brown sugar cinnamon chips.
Serve it in a Pineapple Shell
This salsa is pretty served in the leftover pineapple shell. To make a shell for serving the salsa, place the knife on the side of the crown and cut the pineapple into two pieces. You can cut the pineapple into two equal halves, but it is harder to cut through the crown. Offsetting the cut creates a larger bowl to hold the salsa.
