Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Ive personally never tried this recipe but have tried something like it. But it sounds delicious, especially if you enjoy pineapple. Pineapples are available at peak season in the following months March-July. Super easy, Super quick recipe. And I dont know what it is about something sweet like papayas, pineapples, mango, peaches or anything else, but they always taste good with red onions in a salsa like this. The flavors just get along incredibly well. This goes well on grilled chicken or of course chips.

1T oil
1 Pineapple, sliced 1/4inch thick
1/2 red onion, diced
2T brown sugar
1 red bell pepper
2T cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
2T red wine vinegar
1/2 bunch scallions, chopped

Grill pineapple slices and then cut into small dice. In a pan sweat onions in olive oil until tender and add brown sugar, and red bell pepper. Mix in the reamining ingredients. Chill about 1 hour before serving.

Berry Salsa

Berry salsa is incredibly refreshing on grilled chicken, or dont use the basic salsa part and just use the berry salsa and use as a topper for a dessert item. Make sure you are using ONLY berries that are in season, if its around winter time and some of these berries arent available then just use what you can and substitute some berries if need be. We will be adding the Basic Mix and the Berry mix together.

Basic Mix:
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, washed, picked, and chopped
1c red, yellow and green peppers, chopped
3 large Jalapeños, seeded and minced
2 limes (squeezed)

Berry Mix:
1pt fresh raspberries, chopped
1pt fresh blackberries, chopped
1pt fresh blueberries, chopped (unless they are small)
1pt fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2T fresh ginger, minced (optional)
1T sugar

Mix the Basic and the Berry mix together.

Were using the Basic Mix Salsa, as the basis for this recipe. If you want you can also add avocados or whatever else you want to this recipe. You can also add more or less of the Jalapeño peppers, depending on your personal preference. Pico is great on chips, tacos and fajitas.

Basic Mix:
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, washed, picked, and chopped
1c red, yellow and green peppers, chopped
3 large Jalapeños, seeded and minced
2 limes (squeezed)

Pico De Gallo:
6 tomato’s, chopped
1T granulated garlic

In a bowl mix the ingredients from the Basic Mix and the Pico De Gallo. Make sure to season with S&P. Done!
