Our family loves enjoying DOLE® fresh fruits and vegetables in the summertime, and one of our favorite dishes to make is this Better-than-Incredible Strawberry Pineapple Salsa!

Better-than-Incredible Strawberry Pineapple Salsa

This Disney Incredible 2 inspired strawberry pineapple salsa recipe is the perfect addition to make any summer cookout incredible! The delicious combination of sweet DOLE® fresh fruits and spicy jalapeno pairs perfectly with grilled chicken or fish, and this recipe can even be severed as an appetizer with your favorite chips. Packed full of DOLE® fresh fruits, this recipe is a great way for families to get their daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

This recipe can be made a few hours before to let the flavors mingle, but keep in mind, if you make the recipe the day before the pineapple bowl won't look as fresh the next day.

Ingredients:

• Whole pineapple (to use as the bowl)
• 1 cup DOLE® Fresh Pineapple, diced
• 1 cup DOLE® Fresh Strawberries, diced
• 1 cup red bell peppers, diced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup red onion, minced
• 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
• 4 tbsp lime juice (about 2 limes or use bottled lime juice)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp salt
• tortilla chips

Directions:

To make the pineapple bowl, cut about 1/3 of the pineapple off, leaving the stem intact to the larger section of the pineapple. Set the small pineapple section aside.

Lay the large section of pineapple on its side and cut around the outer edge of the pineapple fruit and make cuts across the middle too. Use a large metal spoon to loosen and scoop out the pineapple chunks. Save the pineapple chunks in a bowl. Pour the extra juice out of the pineapple bowl so that it is empty. Set aside.

Dice enough of the pineapple chunks to make one cup of diced pineapple to be used for the salsa. Save the rest of the pineapple chunks for another use.

Prepare strawberries, peppers, jalepeno, red onion, and cilantro as directed.

In a separate bowl, combine lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir.

In a small bowl, combine together diced pineapple, diced strawberries, diced peppers, diced jalapeno, minced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Pour liquid over diced fruits and gently stir to combine.

Transfer the strawberry pineapple salsa to the pineapple bowl for serving.

Refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
