Pineapple Salsa

Fry's grocery store had a fabulous deal last this week.

Fresh pineapples were only $1,

however if you combined the sale with

coupons found on the Internet,

they were FREE!

I was able to pick up 4 FREE pineapples.

Did I mention that they were FREE?

I guess I am on a salsa kick this week,

because with one of them I made fresh Pineapple Salsa.

This recipe is worth trying!

Just look how invitingly colorful it is,

and the taste, WOW!

I found this wonderful gadget for cutting pineapple
at a regular grocery store. I only paid $5.00
for it and it has been well worth it.
After you cut the top off,
position the slicer over the pineapple.



Push and twist.

It's that simple.

When you reach the bottom,

turn it over and the pineapple

just slides right out.

It make beautifully uniform slices.

For this salsa recipe you will need to grill

the pineapple slices until nicely

marked. This only takes a few

minutes. Be careful not to char them.

1 large pineapple, sliced, grilled, and then chopped
1 Large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
2 Serrano chilies, minced

1 Clove garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1-2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
1 Teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Add the bell pepper, onion, chile's, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well. Salt and pepper to your taste. Set aside for at least 3o-60 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with fish, ham, or turkey.

We love it on Nachos and Chicken Enchiladas.
