Pineapple Salsa Party Dip

When I made this dip the first time, it was for Chad’s birthday party.

To keep everything super simple, I prepared some burgers, Crockpot Brats, Crockpot Corn on the Cob and a salsa bar.

The salsa bar was my favorite. I wish I had pictures. 

It featured 3 heat varieties of our Lazy Day Salsa, Best Ever Chipotle’s Copycat Guacamole, Strawberry Habanero Everything Spread and this Pineapple Salsa.

Also, we set out different chips to go with all of the dips.

The Pineapple Salsa stole the show. We started off with the salsa bar as our appetizers, if you will.

By the time dinner began, several guests were still eating pineapple salsa with dinner.

Then the cake came out and many of our guests headed back for the spicy dip again.  Let’s just say the salsa was devoured!

Ingredients

The salsa features fresh pineapple and jalapeno peppers (although you could use serrano too) for the perfect combination of sweet and heat.

Cilantro adds a coolness to the dip, red onion gives it a hint of pungent spiciness and the addition of ginger (our secret ingredient!) warms it up.

It is truly a party for your senses and you will be eating this all year long!

Recipe Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Frozen and canned won’t give you the texture you are looking for.
  • Chill the ingredients. For the best flavor, be sure to allow time for the dip to chill in the refrigerator.
  • Use peppers to suit your palate. Less peppers for less heat. The recipe is mild heat as written.
  • Use kitchen gloves. To prevent burning your eyes, I recommend wearing gloves when working with spicy peppers.

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

  1. Thanks for the recipe. I made Roasted Pineapple with Mango Salsa, and Tomatillo with green olive salsa for our last get-together, and the pineapple mango was the favorite. I quickly roasted the pineapple slices in a very hot oven, so they would get a little brown without loosing their juiciness. I like the ginger idea; I'll try it next time.

  2. 5 stars
    We made this to go with our nachos and tacos. Taco tuesday was perfection thanks to this delightful salsa!
