This blender salsa is loaded up with fresh pineapple, tomatillos, jalapeno, and cilantro. It’s bursting with a fresh, sweet and spicy flavor that is perfect when paired with chicken or fish.
This is a blender salsa, implying that we will make it in either a blender or a food processor. It gives a mixed salsa blend, like that you would purchase at a market. Ideal for dunking chips into, or spooning on tacos, chicken or fish.First we will cook the pineapple, jalapeno, onion and tomatillos in the stove under the grill. This mellow the tomatillos and jalapeno, and gives a dazzling flavor to our pineapple salsa.
This pineapple salsa has a sweet warmth to it. With the pineapple it has a fruity, tropical pleasantness. In case you’re considering what is the best salsa to use on fish? This is the salsa for you!
This salsa is incredible for dunking chips into. Spooning onto some stew lime chicken (or any chicken really..). Spooning onto some fish tacos, or some prepared or flame broiled fish. Or then again in any event, appreciating with some shrimp.

NOTES
The water is to thin it out, use as much or as little as you need. Due to there not being ingredients that create a lot of juice such as regular salsa using red tomatoes, this recipe calls for water to thin it out. Once you blend the ingredients you will notice that the salsa is rather thick. Which makes it difficult to dip chips into. Add the water, as much as needed to get the consistency you prefer.
