This is a different take on salsa, but since it is a different year, why not a different take on an old party staple. The pineapple adds a fantastic sweetness especially if the pineapple is fresh and ripe! The macadamia nuts add a nice richness without having to add an additional fat like oil or a high fat dairy. Together they go really well on a slightly salty chip like the Stacey's Pita Chips. This makes about 1 pint (2 cups)
1/4 a red onion, small dice
1/2 a red bell pepper, small dice
1 pint (2 cups) fresh pineapple, medium dice
2/3 cup macadamia nuts, toasted, chopped
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon mint, chopped
2 teaspoons honey
2 jalapenos, minced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 orange, juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and ground black pepper or red pepper flakes
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Let sit for 1 hour before serving. You can adjust the heat by adding all the seeds from the jalapenos to none of them. Extra red pepper flakes can also add some flare or 1/4 teaspoon of chili sauce.
ENJOY!!
