Tips & Notes
- Dice the pineapple finely and let it sit in a strainer for a few minutes before mixing, saving the juice for drinks. Fresh pineapple releases a lot of liquid, and draining it keeps the salsa scoopable instead of soupy after the rest.
- Jalapeños vary a lot in heat, so add half the minced pepper first, taste after the salsa rests, and stir in the rest if you want more kick. Wash your hands well after handling it, or wear gloves, so the oils do not reach your eyes.
- Corn tortilla chips are not automatically gluten-free, since many are fried in shared oil, so choose chips labeled gluten-free. At a party, give the salsa its own spoon and keep it away from crackers and breaded snacks so crumbs stay out of the bowl.
