I had cut the ingredient amounts in half because there’s only 2 of us at home, and we didn’t want to eat it all week. I used fresh corn only because it was on hand and only needed one cob. I used the single serving pineapple cups (the kind you use for lunch boxes) but I drained off the juice. Only needing 2 TB. of OJ, I bought a fresh, in-season navel orange and only needed half of it. Thank goodness most the fresh ingredients were on sale at the grocery, so this salsa turned out to be an economical dish. It had a really fresh tasted; I served it with ham balls from this site all over tortilla chips.
I am not a salsa fan but even I liked this. I doubled the recipe, and used canned pineapple because that’s what I had. The addition of the zest and juice of one lime took it from good to great. Fresh pineapple would be even better but I am reducing trips to any stores because of COVID-19.
This was easy to make and we enjoyed it. I used all of the pineapple. I used a leek instead of a onion. And I did not use the jalapeno. We had it with a hamburger. I will make it again this summer.
I absolutely love this recipe
I followed the recipe. Used it for a fall function for a group of about 30. I used jalapeno instead of chili peppers and only half as much. The folks who tried it loved it and the left-overs lasted a week.
The amount of the ingredients of cilantro,black beans and onions in this recipe are overpowering the rest of the ingredients. I cut those ingredients to tsp. The beans I put in was 13 of the can. I also put in chopped cherry tomatoes. I used lemon juice instead of oj. Use whatever kind of jar peppers you have. I used banana rings. I gave it 3 stars because of all the changes I needed to make,but the ingredients were Good together.
I made it as is and it was delicious! The sweetness of the pineapple and fresh squeezed orange juice complemented the jalapenos and peppers. Great idea to serve with chips while grilling. It doubled as an appetizer and my family loved it.
Really nice, made a lot. Didn’t have chili ??, so I added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes & 1/4 tsp cayenne. Yum!
Family loved it.
Great, easy recipe. I’ll definitely be making it again!
I had a pineapple that needed to be sliced and used. Found this and it was awesome. I served with Ahi Tuna and rice. Didn’t have cilantro so sub’d fresh parsley and jalapeños from my garden.
Served this over baked fish and coconut rice. Almost as good as Shaggy’s on the coast!
WOW. Made this as a side to grilled Salmon. Absolutely delicious, cool, refreshing and best of all easy and fast. Added some fresh peaches which was another nice sweetness to the dish. We will be visiting this dish often this summer.
Yummy
I tried the pineapple pesto for two reasons. The first reason was I had a pineapple to hand and the second reason because I am a fan of spicy food with a bite I wanted to make and try something different to enjoy and add to my repertoire. This salsa hit the mark and gave a different dimension with the added beans. Very tasty and an exciting accompniment to many a main dish. Definitely a future favourite!
This is a PHENOMENAL recipe! I’ve made this using both canned corn and leftover corn on the cob rather than frozen. Definitely a keeper! I have served with tortilla chips and on fish tacos with a simple slaw, would also be great with chicken! I up the cumin a tad and add a Tbsp or so of lime juice and a couple of dashes of chipotle powder, and sometimes up the pineapple.
Not what I was expecting. This salsa was very bland.
This recipe was perfect with sweet and spicy pork tacos. it made the meal
We loved it. This recipe was a hit in our house.
OUTSTANDING, easy
I have made this several times now. It is a wonderful side dish, full of the flavors of Hawaii. I have had it with barbecued chicken and with salmon steaks. It’s a great side dish for a potluck dinner such as a barbecue and with the jalapenos seeded, it has just the right amount of heat. One of my favorites!
