Pineapple Salsa is like summer in a bowl with pineapples so fresh and sweet right now it’s got to make an appearance at your dinner table!   If you’re nervous about cutting a whole pineapple you can get my favorite tips in this video I made a few years ago 🙂

Pineapples are so sweet and tasty right now~ I love the pineapple gold variety.  For ideal pineapple picking, I pick a pineapple with a few things in mind~ I want it to be firm to the touch, sweet smelling at the base, have a golden color but not darkened to a deep red color.  Let in ripen a day or two on the counter until it’s completely fragrant and a deep golden yellow, then turn it upside down the morning before you are planning to use it so the sweetness can drain back into the entire fruit and not stay settled at the base.    If I get to pick that’s what I look for… they are all green and under ripe, allow it to ripen on the counter until it gets to it’s peak ripeness and enjoy!
