Grilled Pineapple Salsa – super fresh, sweet, a little spicy, and perfect for summer.  Great over chicken, pork, fish, or just to snack on with chips!

Have you ever been to a Brazilian steak house?  The places that come around to your table with meat on a stick.  They usually have close to 20 different types of meat and things to pick from, and you just tell them if you want them to slice you a piece or not.  We have one in town, and my son loves going there.  We have only been a handful of times, but it is always a fun experience when we do to.  And strangely enough one of my favorite things they have is their grilled pineapple.  I think it is glazed with honey and brown sugar, and it is so good!  After making Grilled Teriyaki Shrimp Kebobs with pineapple, I knew I need to experiment with it more at home.

I have shied away from pineapple in savory recipes for a long time.  I am not sure why, I just didn’t think I would like them. So when I finally sucked it up and tried it, I was shocked how much I loved it.  In fact the whole family loved it.  I have seen pineapple salsas all over the internet for the past few summers, so I wanted to give it a try.  I wanted it a little spicy, but lots of lime juice.  Lots of fresh flavors and so easy to make!

Grilled pineapple salsa might become a staple in our house this summer.  So far we have had it on chicken and eaten it with chips.  I am thinking of making shrimp or fish tacos with it next.  You can really use it however you want.  Pork chops would be great, or a grilled pork tenderloin.  Oh the possibilities!  So fire up the grill, and grill some pineapple for a super easy and versatile salsa.
