Homemade Salsa makes the perfect appetizer, and this Pineapple Salsa is a fun and delicious twist. Made with a whole fresh pineapple and a handful of other ingredients, it’s a simple, flavor-packed combination that’s always party ready!
I don’t know about you, but I’m a bit of a salsa snob. I feel like I’m constantly on the search for a delicious store bought salsa… and like I’m constantly disappointed by what I find.
Which is probably why I’m so obsessed with homemade. Because… let’s face it… everything homemade is better. Including salsa. And this Pineapple Salsa is just. so. fun.
Loaded with fresh pineapple, bell pepper, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, and cilantro, it’s the perfect savory/sweet combination with just the right amount of spice. Perfect for dipping with tortilla chips or serving over any of your favorite tacos. And ALWAYS a party favorite!

🍍 Ingredients
One of my favorite things about this recipe is the fresh ingredient list. I love using fresh ingredients whenever possible, which is why I used a whole fresh pineapple. If necessary, canned pineapple can be used in its place.

- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
📋 Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Serve with tortilla chips or spoon over tacos, enchiladas, or nachos.
🥒 Recipe variations
- Add 1 cup diced cucumber
- Add 1 diced avocado
- Use a combination of fruits, including pineapple, mango, and/or peach
- Use canned pineapple in place of fresh
- Place all ingredients in the blender and pulse several times for a more blended consistency
🌡 Storing
Leftover salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For maximum freshness, it should be used within 3-4 days.
