Instructions

If you plan on serving over rice, prepare as directed on package. I found that Mahatma’s yellow seasoned rice was an excellent accompaniment with the tropical salsa. If you want to make the pineapple boat for a luau party, half with a sharp serrated knife, then slice and scoop out pineapple and discard core, otherwise you can slice the pineapple as normal to use in the salsa. Rough chop fruits, peppers and onions.
Add all salsa ingredients into a food processor or blender. Pulse or chop until desired consistency.
Transfer salsa to a bowl with spoon or depending how you would like to serve it, maybe mixed into rice or tacos. Enjoy!
