Pineapple Chipotle Salsa

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pineapple is rich in vitamin C and digestion-boosting enzymes, while chipotle peppers add a smoky heat with metabolism-boosting capsaicin. Try it with grilled meats or as a topping for tacos!

This Pineapple Chipotle Salsa is a vibrant mix of sweet, smoky, and spicy flavors that brings excitement to any table. Fresh pineapple, red onion, and zesty lime pair with bold chipotle peppers to create a salsa that’s perfect for dipping, topping tacos, or adding a punch of flavor to grilled meats. It’s refreshing, fiery, and irresistibly delicious with that perfect balance of tropical sweetness and smoky heat.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
