Can we all agree that one of the best parts of Mexican food is the chips and salsa? Chips and Salsa are addicting to almost everyone, but especially when it’s homemade Salsa. This Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa hits all the right notes: Spicy, sweet, acidic… all the components of a completely addicting snack, appetizer, or if you’re my husband… an entire meal!
The tomatillos are roasted to give extra flavor, and then pineapple is added to bring in some tang. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
