What Should I Serve Pineapple Corn Salsa With?
This is a great question, and there are so many delicious options!
Of course, your salsa would be delicious served with tortilla chips as an easy snack to scoop up (especially on a hot day on the beach or next to a pool!)
You can use the salsa to add to tacos or for an extra kick on burrito bowls. I have baked chicken and served it with Balsamic Glaze and the salsa on top, which provides a great blend of acidity, sweet, and salty.
This would also be delicious to top grilled salmon or any other kind of fish you’re making. The options are endless!
How Long Does Pineapple Salsa Last in the Fridge?
If you store your Pineapple Corn Salsa in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge, it should last you about 5 days. Keep an eye on it, and if it starts to look watery and broken down, throw it out before 5 days.
