    Pineapple and Poblano Salsa is the perfect treat for this summer. Full of fresh ingredients and bold flavors, you won't be able to get enough!

    Are you like me and when someone puts a bowl of chips and salsa in front of you, you loose all sense of yourself and you literally cannot stop?

    No? You lie! ?

    I am proud to say I am a huge chip and salsa LOVER and this pineapple and poblano salsa is everything! Full of fresh ingredients from the summer, bold flavors, and all the textures. You're going to love this!

    What Ingredients Do You Need?

    • Garlic Cloves
    • Limes
    • Cilantro
    • Red Onion
    • Pineapple
    • Roasted Poblanos
    • Jalapenos
    • Avocados
    • Salt
    avacado, cilantro, limes, red onion, roasted poblano, and pineapple on a white table

    How to Prep

    I am using my molcajete bowl* for this recipe. If you do not have one, just use a large bowl.

    1. Roast your poblanos using your preferred method and let cool. I like to pop under the broiler for a couple of minutes. Make sure to flip to get each side nice and blistered. Remove once each side is blistered and charred and let cool.
    2. To your bowl add in the finely minced garlic cloves, lime juice, and cilantro that has been finely chopped. Using your pestle or a spoon, mix, and mash everything together.
    3. Add in finely diced red onion, pineapple, roasted poblanos, jalapenos, and salt. Mix to combine everything.
    4. Right before serving add in your diced avocado. Taste and add more salt and lime juice if needed. Serve immediately or chilled with your favorite tortilla chips.

    Can I Make Ahead of Time?

    Yes! You can make it the morning of or a couple of hours before and store in the fridge until needed.

    My only recommendation is to wait to put the avocados on until right before serving to prevent any possible browning.

    Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2 days.
