Forget chips, I need a shovel for this salsa. OMG. I always forget how much I love grilled pineapple. I never really remember to grill it, unless it’s summer. So it’s probably been a whole year since I tasted the amazingness that is grilled pineapple. This is my new summer topping for evvvverything.
Like, I want to put this on everything that I eat for the rest of forever. Salmon would be AMAZING with this, grilled chicken, shrimp, and even flank steak! And chips, obviously. My favorite food in the whole world. Is that embarrassing?
I just reallllly love chips. Ask anyone that knows me well. I really love them to the point that people get me chips for my birthday and Christmas. Ha.
It’s happened more times I’d like to admit. 😂
The best part about this salsa (other than the fact that it’s crazy delicious) is that it’s SO easy. 6 ingredients! And pretty much one bowl! Other than grilling the pineapple. Which is probably the easiest part because it takes four minutes. Literally.
It was really hard to not devour that entire plate of grilled pineapple right then and there.
How stunning is this bowl? I know I say this ALL the time, but it always amazes me how the simplest of ingredients and recipes are often my favorite. All you need is super fresh produce, citrus, herbs, and salt to make something out-of-this-world.
This is one of those recipes.
The grilled pineapple against the creaminess of the avocado is just to die for. The grilled pineapple also gets SUPER juicy and those juices mix with the lime and it’s just amazing. I really have no words.
Give me ALL the chips.
