If my family doesn't care for pineapple what could be used in its place for the salsa? This sounds really good and I would like to try it.

Add a tiny pinch of salt to any home made salsa just before serving and you will never have a bland salsa again!!!!

I was disappointed. My salsa looked and smelled wonderful, but was bland. I followed the recipe, exactly.
