    Salsa is my jam! Or maybe I should use a different phrase to show my love for salsa... either way, I love salsa!

    My pantry is never without salsa. It's a staple in my diet. I can always rely on salsa to make my meals better: more flavor, more spice, more nutrients

    I love a good jarred salsa, but sometimes it's fun to make my own. I've made salsa multiple times over the past five years of blogging, and I've got a new version today with one of my absolute favorite fruits: pineapple.

    Pineapple is so dang good, which is why I am shocked I don't have more pineapple recipes other than the greatest gazpacho ever made.

    The salsa is sweet and spicy thanks to the jalapeño. The salty blue corn chips add a wonderful contrast, but this salsa is also delicious and served over cooked chicken or fish. It's also tasty and served as a salsa for tacos.

    This salsa goes with almost everything!

    The salsa is a great make-ahead appetizer because it gets tastier the longer it has to sit and have all the flavors co-mingle.

    Make sure you keep this in a glass or plastic container (glass preferred) because the pineapple and lime juice will negatively react with a metal or stainless bowl.
