The trick is cutting enough rind off without taking too much of the pineapple with it.ĭiscard the rind, and with the pineapple still standing, cut it in half. Continue to do this until the entire rind is gone. Use a serrated bread knife (or chef's knife) and carefully cut the rind off one side while holding the other with your hand. Now place that pineapple on its bottom, standing up straight. I basically do this with any roundish fruit (mango, watermelon, cantaloupe etc.) This will give you stability as you cut off the rind. Whenever you cut up your pineapple, lay it on its side and cut off the bottom and top first. If you're looking for a shortcut just buy the de-cored and peeled pineapple in the precut fruit section. I will quote cat posters again if I have to. Wait? I have to cut up an entire pineapple myself. The sweetness of the pineapple, and the heat from the jalapeno are muy bueno. You may end up with your head in the freezer. If you REALLY like to punish yourself, do it without gloves. If you like to sweat, a habanero pepper would also work. Just mince up the whole thing then add it gradually until you reach optimal heat. If you prefer more heat, leave the seeds and ribs in yours. I only put half a jalapeno in this recipe in the hopes my little people will eat it too. The ingredients cozy up to one another and mingle a bit. Little salsa bonus: it only gets better as it sits in the fridge. I, however, can eat the whole thing within a week myself. Lovely, isn't it? This recipe does make a relatively big batch of salsa.

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.Ĭonvinced yet? Here is a picture of mine.

Brace yourself for some cheesy, cat poster inspiration. Since this salsa is so fresh (only whole foods) there is quite a bit of peeling and dicing required.

Pat the excess flour off the salmon filet and then pan fry both sides until crispy and opaque inside. Salmon recipes are all over Pinterest but a real simple way to cook a filet is to season liberally with salt and pepper then cover with flour. I feel like salmon and pineapple salsa are soul mates. (I believe in you.) The only thing I haven't tried yet with this recipe is canning it. It makes a great neighbor gift if you can will yourself to give some away. I mostly enjoy it with tortilla chips but you can really dump it on anything (fish, chicken, pork, salmon, tacos etc.) With the exception of cereal, if you throw it on there it will most likely taste amazing. yeah, me neither What can I use this mango pineapple salsa recipe for? Let me count thy ways. Anyone else lack self control around a cinnamon roll? errr. It's that good! Unlike cinnamon rolls, I don't hate myself after eating the entire batch.

Yes, I did just compare a salsa recipe to a cinnamon roll.
