Fresh Pineapple Salsa
By Katie Stewart · May 5, 2022 · 1 min read
Fresh salsas are a total game-changer.
They add big flavour and really liven up dishes. My fresh pineapple salsa is amazing with chicken, shrimp or pork-based recipes.
I love pairing it alongside my pico de gallo and guacamole for taco night!
Benefits of Pineapple
There are a lot of wonderful benefits and nutrients found in pineapple. For today’s blog, I’m going to highlight two of them: vitamin C and bromelain.
Vitamin C
- Fights free radicals that promote disease, aging and inflammation.
- Helps support the immune system (which plays a key role in acne).
- Speeds up the healing of wounds (like breakouts).
- Supports collagen synthesis (a building block for skin that keeps it firm and plump).
Bromelain
- Group of protein-digesting enzymes (helps the body digest foods better).
- Helps with more efficient nutrient absorption (many acne sufferers are nutrient deficient).
- Reduces inflammation (acne = inflammation).
Ingredients
- ½ pineapple cored and diced
- ½ cup red onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Juice and zest of one lime
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined.
