I made this salsa to serve with smoked pork shoulder tacos. It was awesome! Everyone love the salsa. Will definitely make again. Thanks for such a great recipe.

I made this recipe exactly as stated to bring to a summer gathering, and it was a hit with everyone! I served with the tortilla chips but can certainly see this being an amazing accompaniment to grilled meats or fish tacos. The seasoning mixture is just right.

Great flavors, I actually added peaches to it as well. I made this recipe and served on top of my Caribbean shrimp street tacos. Family loved it.

I used canned pineapple and canned jalapenos, and added a pinch of red pepper. I don't normally like cilantro but in this is adds flavor! :D VERY good everyone thought it was store bought and was surprised when i said I made it.

I made this for the Cook's Corner ingredient challenge. I added your recipe to two packets of prepared Minute Multi-Grain Medley to make a rice salad. The salsa is outstanding. I used canned pineapple instead of fresh because I found one on the sale table. Thank you for the recipe!

Excellent tasting salsa. I personally like a little more heat though....so I added 2 tablespoons of both minced ginger and fresh Tahitian lime juice.
