How to Make the Best Blackberry Pineapple Salsa

This blackberry pineapple salsa is a delightful twist on traditional fruit salsas, combining the sweetness of ripe pineapple and blackberries with the heat of fresh jalapeños and brightness of lime. It’s the kind of recipe that feels fancy but comes together in just 10 minutes with minimal prep work.

When to Serve This Salsa

The versatility of this salsa makes it perfect for so many occasions. Serve it alongside grilled fish tacos, pile it on top of seasoned grilled chicken breasts, or spoon it over crispy baked chips for an appetizer. It’s also surprisingly delicious tossed into a fresh summer salad with mixed greens and a lime vinaigrette, adding a burst of sweet and spicy flavor to every bite.

Make It Your Own

The beauty of fresh fruit salsas is how easy they are to customize. If you prefer it spicier, add another jalapeño or leave the seeds in for extra heat. For a milder version, reduce the cilantro or omit it entirely. You can even experiment with other fresh fruits like mango, strawberries, or raspberries to create your own signature version of this crowd-pleasing appetizer.
