Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?….
Yeah, that’s what happens when you watch too much Spongebob Squarepants. You start humming the song that plays in the beginning of the show.
Let’s talk about pineapples…
Pineapple is one of my favorite fruit because it’s versatile. It can be eaten fresh, it’s great in juices, it’s great in salads, as a smoothie..and so on.
I can go on and on about pineapple and what I can do with it. It’s never-ending. That’s how much you can do with it.
Today, for lunch I made pineapple salsa…
Yup, pineapple can be made into salsa and it’s great with fish, pork or beef.
One BIG thing about salsa is that you have to have Cilantro…
and guess what? I forgot to buy Cilantro the last time we went to the grocery. {slaps forehead} AARRGH!
They don’t sell Cilantro at the local wet market…. because—oh, I don’t know,– I guess people just don’t use it that often in this part of the world.
I still went through with the salsa anyway
I just used those parsley in the fridge because I know I have to see something green in it…
….and you know what, it still turned out okay.
Not the perfect salsa which I would have preferred but still okay, still delicious…and still worth making.
Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients:
1 cup diced pineapple, canned or fresh will do
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato chopped
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice/calamansi juice
salt or fish sauce
Directions:
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well
- Chill before serving
This is something that is very easy to do.. I hope you try it out.
Guess what I paired with it? It’ll be on my next post….

This looks delicious to serve alongside a ham or pork tenderloin. Yum!
wow! something different to serve for tomorrow, Manny’s bout is tomorrow kaya I want to prepare something special for my family too, wala atang koneksyon ano ahaha
Quick and delicious. I could have this everyday.
Even your make-do version sounds terrific! My mom made something like this for Christmas one year to go with the ham. I like how fresh yours is. Thanks for the great idea–I like trying something new.
Peach, baka meron sa palengke, ask mo lang yung “wansuy.” Kapamilya din yata yung kinchay, baka pede substitute.
Naku, Wansuy nga..wala kahit isang mag-gugulay ang may tinda….
sa SM grocery lang kaya ako nakakabili ng wansuy….
Yung cilantro kong tanim namatay… masyadong sensitive hehehe.
even without the main course, buhay na ako. it holds true on all desserts pala, hahaha.
This sounds bright and refreshing…I would love it on grilled fish!
This looks yummy. If I were to make this, I’d be pairing it with fish or ham :3

Wow – Cilantro or no…it looks delicious! I’m a HUGE fan of cilantro and I completely agree with you…it does make a salsa dish. So I’m thinking you may have to make this again!
Looks yummy! A great side dish to a lot of meat dishes… Now getting hungry!! 🙂
What a refreshing salsa! I love Sponge Bob! Is it bad I know all the words to the song? Hee hee.
This looks interesting. Pineapple salsa, that should taste great.
