This refreshing salsa combines the sweetness of pineapple with the tanginess of tomatillos, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It’s a great accompaniment for chips, tacos, grilled fish, or even just by itself.

Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
- 1 cup tomatillos husked and diced
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1 avocado diced (for added creaminess)
Instructions
- Dice the Pineapple and Tomatillos: Start by dicing the fresh pineapple and tomatillos into small, bite-sized pieces. The pineapple brings a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tart tomatillos.
- Chop the Red Onion and Jalapeño: Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño. If you like a bit of heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño; otherwise, remove them for a milder salsa.
- Combine and Mix: In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, tomatillos, red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add salt to taste. If you're adding avocado, gently fold it in at this stage.
Notes
- For extra flavor, roast the tomatillos and jalapeño before dicing them.
- Adjust the lime juice and salt to suit your taste preferences.
- This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
