Tropical salsa served with crunchy cinnamon sugar tortilla chips – a wonderful, summery play on common salsa & chips – fresh pineapple, avocado, orange, kiwi fruit, fresh herbs & a little sweet heat from jalapeno jelly make this salsa perfect to serve with ice-cold beers or with your favorite cocktail such as Strawberry Limoncello Margaritas.

Make the salsa ahead of time & add the avocado just before serving – although with the lime juice & acidity from the pineapple the avocado does keep its color. Bright & fresh, this salsa will be devoured at your next backyard soiree served as an easy appetizer or alongside any grilled meat – especially pork or salmon. Or add it to tacos. It’s a deviation from your common jarred salsa but so much better. Cheers, Lovoni
