Pineapple Salsa

Have any of you tried Trader Joe’s pineapple salsa?  I love it because it’s on the mild side and I like the combo of sweetness and a teeny bit of heat.  The last time I was there, I couldn’t find it so I set out on a mission to make my own which was surprisingly way easier than I had anticipated! It requires just a few ingredients and I love the fact that they’re all fresh and seasonal….perfect with chips and margaritas or even as a healthy topping for grilled chicken or fish.  I followed this recipe but left out the jalapeno pepper and the onion because I was making it for the kids the other night.  It was still tasty and they loved the combo of the pineapple, peppers and tomatoes!  I plan on making another batch for Fire Island this weekend.  The forecast is calling for sunny skies and temps in the low eighties so we plan on hitting the beach and barbecuing.  I cannot wait!  What are your plans for the long weekend?
