Tomato Free Pineapple Salsa


Within the last decade, salsa has become a major staple of American diets overtaking ketchup as the most commonly used condiment.  And rightfully so, because salsa has a countless number of options for flavors and ketchup is, well, just ketchup.  This recipe is perfect for those who are tired of tomatoes or even for those who may be allergic to tomatoes.  I served this salsa over chicken one night and fish the next, and both dishes were a hit.  Now is also the time of the year when pineapples are cheap AND delicious!  This recipe uses our Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil as a tasty and recognizable heat.

Ingredients:
1/3 - fresh pineapple, chopped
2 Tbsp - Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil
1/4 medium - yellow onion, chopped
1/4 - red bell pepper, chopped
4 sprigs - cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 tsp - salt

1.  Combine pineapple, onion, cilantro, and salt in a blender or food processor.

2.  Begin blending and then slowly add the Pastamore Fresh Jalapeño Oil.  Stop blending once desired consistency is reached, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.

3.  Serve with fish, chicken, or tortilla chips.
