We were beating the heat this weekend and doing some entertaining while serving this delicious salsa. With very few ingredients you can create a refreshing and tangy summertime dip.
Tangy Pineapple Salsa
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 roma tomates, diced
1 sweet red onion, diced
1 medium green pepper, sliced and diced
1 medium red pepper, sliced and diced
1 to 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 can of crushed pineapple, drained and set aside the drained juice
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
First, wash and prep the veggies.
In a blender, blend together half of the tomatoes, onion and peppers. Then add half the cilantro, if adding any, half the pineapple and the garlic. Pulse for a few seconds. Empty into a large bowl then stir in the remaining ingredients. Add a bit of the reserved pineapple juiced, to your liking. Cover and let mellow in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. Serve with multigrain corn chips, tortillas, and tacos. May also be served with fish, chicken, and burgers.
Notes: For a more chunkier salsa do not partially blend the ingredients. You can use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple tidbits too. For some bite add a bit of hot sauce to kick things up! Add black beans.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was a lovely one for us. - JD
