RECIPE TIPS
Recipe Variations
- Fresh Melon: Cantaloupe and watermelon make delicious salsas. Melon salsa is great with spicier grilled meats. The sweetness adds the perfect balance.
- Fresh Mango: This mango salsa recipe is one of my favorites. Serve with shrimp tacos for wow-tastic Taco Tuesdays!
- Strawberries: Strawberry salsa made with basil and balsamic vinegar is perfect with grilled chicken. For a quick and satisfying wrap, serve the leftovers in flour tortillas for lunch the next day.
- Peaches: Peach salsa and grilled pork is a marriage made in heaven. Try this with some charred red bell peppers. For a decadent dessert, serve up some cinnamon tortilla chips!
- Corn: It's technically not a fruit, but fresh corn salsa is eat-right-out-of-the-bowl delicious. Add some black beans and tortilla chips, and you've got yourself a meal!
- Thaw the pineapple in a mesh strainer over a bowl to remove the excess water.
- Once the pineapple is thawed, dice and add the remaining ingredients.
- Choose pineapple in juice, not the sweetened variety. Also, use rings or diced pineapple.
- Drain the pineapple and dice.
