This Spicy Pineapple & Avocado Salsa is a flavor explosion you didn’t know you needed. Sweet, juicy pineapple meets creamy avocado and fiery chili for a bold, refreshing salsa that’s equal parts tropical and spicy. It’s not just a dip—it’s a showstopper for tacos, grain bowls, grilled fish, or spooned straight from the bowl.
🌶️ Why Pineapple & Avocado?
