Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Pineapple and Banana Salsa

[heart_this] · May 14, 2011 · 18 Comments

Pineapple and Banana Salsa

A refreshing fruity salsa with pinapple and bananas.

I was planning on doing a spicy dish and I wanted serve it with a cool and refreshing fruity salsa. Sweet and soft bananas and juicy, tart and sweet pineapple seemed like an excellent combination and along with some sharp red onions and some fresh cilantro I was all set. I could not resist spicing things up a bit with the addition of some jalapeno peppers and I finished everything off with a splash of lime juice. I could also see adding a table spoon of marmalade to the mix but I held off on it this time.

    I love sweet salsa, too – I just had mango salsa last night!! This looks so delicious – I don't think I've ever tried banana in salsa before!

    Wow, I'll have to give this a try. I sometimes top grilled chicken and fish with a spicy pineapple salsa with red bell peppers and orange zest. Bananas might add a nice touch. Thanks for the recipe!

    Fantastic, Kevin. I made a black bean and banana salsa last summer that we liked a lot and I'll definitely be trying this out with grilled fish this summer!

    Do you have to eat it right away? What happens to the bananas if you make it ahead of time?

    Rebecca: I would eat it fairly soon after making it but you should be able to do a couple of hours.
