Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa
This Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa is a refreshing and vibrant dish that combines the natural sweetness of pineapple with the tangy flavor of tomatillos. Enhanced with red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, this salsa is perfect for serving with chips, tacos, or grilled meats.
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.
