While I usually make savory salsa, this is my go-to when I’m craving something sweet. I’ll show you how to make the best pineapple salad with a few simple ingredients and share a delicious way to eat it (not just chips!).

Pineapple Salsa Toppings

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for a pineapple chipotle salad, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• Pineapple – Buy a firm, fresh, ripe pineapple with bright green leaves and a slightly yellowish outside (though more yellow is fine), with a slightly fluffy skin when squeezed. If it smells fruity at the base of the stem, it’s fully ripe! I don’t recommend using canned pineapple because it doesn’t taste the same, but it can work in a pinch.
• tomato – Use ripe medium tomatoes. If your tomatoes have lots of seeds, you can remove them before using so the salsa isn’t too watery.
• avocado – Pineapple Avocado Salad is the best! The creamy texture pairs perfectly with other crispy ingredients and balances sweetness and heat.
• shallots – White onions will work too.
• fresh coriander – In my opinion, any salsa is a must, but feel free to omit if you’re not a fan.
• Jarrahpepper foam – Increase the heat! If you don’t want your salsa to be too spicy, remove the seeds and ribs first (wear gloves!).
• lime juice – Adds soup flavor and helps flavor development. This recipe uses 3 tablespoons, but you can use more if you prefer. Freshly squeezed juices work best here, but bottled juices are also handy.
• salt and pepper

Can you freeze pineapple salsa?

While you can safely freeze salsa, it will be very runny when thawed. Also, the texture of many fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes and avocados, can be ruined. Stick to enjoying freshness.
