Grilled Pineapple Salsa
This grilled pineapple salsa is one of my favorite warm-weather recipes! The sweet, caramelized pineapple pairs perfectly with smoky grilled peppers, fresh lime juice, and a touch of heat from jalapeño. It’s the ultimate summer salsa—perfect for chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or straight from the bowl!

Finely chop the grilled pineapple and bell peppers and add them to the remaining ingredients. Toss it all together with the maple syrup, lime juice, and salt. Taste and add more salt or lime juice to taste.

Notes
Storage. This salsa keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The flavors get even better after a few hours, so feel free to make it ahead.
Pineapple Tips. Use a ripe pineapple for the best natural sweetness. Look for one that smells fragrant and has a little give when squeezed.
Grill Alternative. No grill? You can roast the pineapple and peppers on a grill pan or broil them in the oven until charred.
Heat Level. Want it spicier? Leave the jalapeño seeds in, or add a second pepper. For a milder salsa, skip the jalapeño or use less.
