    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Feel free to use up to 4 cups of fresh diced pineapple for this recipe. A standard-sized fresh pineapple that is cored and peeled will yield about 4 - 4 ½ cups of diced pineapple.
    • The juice from two large limes is ¼ cup of lime juice or 2 tablespoons of juice per lime.
    • Make sure that all of the fruit and vegetables are finely diced so that it's easy to scoop up with a spoon or chip.
    • You'll get approximately 4+ cups from this fresh pineapple salsa recipe.
    • Serve this with your favorite pork, fish, chicken, fish, or shrimp recipe, or scoop it on top of your favorite tacos. You can serve it as an appetizer with tortilla chips too!

    ❓ FAQ

    What Can You Serve This Pineapple Salsa With?

    This pineapple salsa will pair perfectly well with a lot of different dishes! You can serve it with your favorite chicken, pork, or seafood dinners, or add it to burritos, or salads!

    Is It Possible To Make Pineapple Salsa Ahead Of Time?

    I wouldn't make this pineapple salsa in advance because the flavors will always taste the best when they are fresh. After a few days in the fridge, the fruit becomes soft, so if you really want to make this salsa in advance, you should freeze the salsa in a freezer-safe container.

    Can I Freeze This Pineapple Salsa Recipe?

    Absolutely! Place any leftover salsa in a resealable plastic bag, let all of the air out, then store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
